Who do you think have the right for the dog??

Sounds all too familiar to the situation a woman I know is in.
She shows/breeds/grooms. She co-owns a dog from one of her litters, the agreement with the owner was that this dog would be shown and bred in the future. All right, that's fine. One day the owner drops the dog off to be groomed, and she's in an awful state. Breeder calls owner, owner says nothing is wrong with the dog, so breeder has her checked out by a vet and such-and-such is wrong with her. Breeder doesn't give the dog back, and tells the owners that the dog ran away. That was about a year ago, breeder is just now being sued for it.
I don't know. Maybe the situation could have been handled better, but I have a hard time faulting both this mayor and the woman I know, if all they were trying to do was help a poor dog.

She stole the dog. Yes, it was what was best for the dog but she did steal it. She could have just treated it and given it back to the owners. It sounds like the only thing that was wrong was they couldn't afford the transfusion. That they shouldn't be faulted for. That doesn't mean they were bad owners.
Low down scum bag.
Why is it, when she saw the owners not doing things the right way, instead of offering to help she misappropriates a member of their family? People are not born knowing how to do everything for their dogs, or for their children for that matter. Before displacing a family member it would have been much more appropriate to offer knowledge or help.
A slippery slope, to allow such. Opens the door for others to find something wrong with YOUR care. Remember, if you allow one crime, you are tacitly giving permission for the next.
I find it disgusting too that she differentiated her crime saying that it wasn't theft because she simply didn't give the pet back. That is conversion. Small comfort to a family that does not have their family member.

I'd love to hear more of the story but just after watching the video, this woman who took the dog sounds like a nut job. She sounds like she fell in love with this dog when she babysat it and try to justify keeping it by saying it was abused because of fleas.
I'm not saying the dog wasn't sick, even the owners said he was. He was in the care of their vet before this woman took him. I'd love to hear more from the vet taking care of the dog.
These people have other pet, one other dog and 2 cats. Why didn't Mrs Saenz-Lopez save them too if this dog was so neglected?

There's a similarity in the above story and the one in the linked article. In BOTH cases the persons accused of stealing the dogs LIED upon being caught. Each was caught and got in trouble specifically because they knowingly lied about what happened to the dogs.
In the linked article the woman claimed the dog "died" while under her care while the owners were on vacation; in the above story the breeder claimed the dog "ran away". Perhaps things would be going better for both if they had told the truth from the beginning?!?
But there is another difference ... in Southpaw's story about the breeder ... the breeder had a co-ownership agreement with the person to whom she originally sold the puppy. If the co-ownership agreement is a written contract then it would seem the other co-owner will not get very far in a suit against the breeder.
