Earlier this week, this woman’s dog was outside when he slipped through a hole in the fence that she had not known about.

So, she wound up searching for her dog in the neighborhood for about three or four hours. Then, when she couldn’t find her pup, she turned to her local neighborhood’s Facebook page and asked for any information about her missing pet.

She knew that her dog had been wearing dog tags, though, so she was confident that there couldn’t be any confusion about who owned the pup.

But then, when she went out searching for her pet again the next day, she actually spotted her dog through her own neighbor’s window.

At that point, she figured that her neighbors had just found her dog and were getting ready to contact her. So, she decided to just knock on their front door and inform them that the pup belonged to her.

“My dog was clearly trying to scratch his way out of the wife’s arms,” she recalled.

Yet, the neighbors just claimed that the pup was actually their dog!

It was at that moment that she realized her neighbors had removed the dog tags from her dog’s collar. She also noticed that their fence was not very tall.

So, she decided to wait around until her neighbors let the dog into the backyard. Then, she called her pup, and when he came running, she was able to scoop him up over the fence.

Eventually, though, the neighbors caught on and realized that the dog was missing. Afterward, they showed up at her house and started pounding on her front door.

She opted not to answer it since she was nervous that the husband would forcibly grab her pup away from her. So, after about 10 or 15 minutes of her neighbors knocking on the door, she called the police and got the authorities involved. Now, when the police officers showed up, she explained how that was her dog.

“And since they took the dog tags off of him, I couldn’t easily prove it,” she added.

But, she did have all of her dog’s paperwork– which she provided to the police. She also pointed out how her neighbors had no paperwork, meaning that they couldn’t legally prove the dog belonged to them. After that, the authorities wound up kicking her neighbors off of her property, and she safely had her dog back.

But, the drama was still far from over. Apparently, after she filled her mom in on what happened, her mom actually accused her of being “despicable” and claimed she should give the dog back to her neighbors!

Plus, a few of her other family members have since agreed that she was in the wrong, too.

So now, she has been left wondering whether “stealing” her dog back after her neighbor tried to keep him was actually the wrong thing to do.

If you realized your neighbor took your dog, would you “steal” your pet back, too? Why do you think her mom believes she acted despicably? Was she in the right or not?
