Thread: They are taking my dog!

First off: I totally agree with all you guys calling the maniacs nut-jobs. How stupid is it possible to be? Dogs enjoy being outside and a few hours every day never hurt a dog. These nut-jobs would probably kidnap huskys from alaska and place them in a heated room, thinking they did the animals a favor.

I fail to see how leaving a dog unattended outside is a problem. All my dogs, who have lived long and happy lives, lived outside unattended. They had what they needed, they got played with daily, and that's that. I've seen abused and sad dogs in my life, and mine were the exact opposite.

Rescues are a good thing, but there are some wackos out there. If it makes any difference, I've rescued almost 100% of the animals I've ever owned, including parrots and a greyhound.

I'm not at all conversant in that area of the law, but I'd be very surprised if they had the right to enter your property - if they had the right to take your dog back, I would think they'd have to take legal action to do so (after sending you a demand). I don't know if there is a repo man analogy here but I doubt it, because nonpayment isn't the issue. Second, I'd be surprised if "to their satisfaction" was deemed to be open-ended - I would hope there'd have to be some reasonable basis for not being satisfied.

So I would guess having been stood up to these guys will back off. Hope so anyway. Good luck.
