If someone leaves a puppy/dog with you and basically says 'you can have this dog', etc but you didn't pay for it, is it still yours legally if you got it free?
I believe dogs/puppies are usually sold under the 'sale of goods act 1975' or something??? like a 'thing' rather than a 'living being' but how does this apply if the dog was a gift?
Would you need any proof the dog was given to you to register it at a vet? The chip (if was chipped) may have been in previous owners name but they got evicted and have been moved on, having left no forwarding details?
The person who has pup now found out which company chip was with and contacted them, they can't give out details but said they have tried to ring numbers given and getting no reply. The address given is the one they were evicted from.
Person who has puppy is wondering how she can prove this pup was just literally left with her as owners drove off!
They would like to give it a home that's not a problem but are wondering whether they have to report it or anything given that they can't prove thats what happened?
Thanks
