It's always a better idea to only act boldly if you actually know the full context of a situation. The internet was brought in to judge, and figured that even if the dude were actually trying to do some malicious garbage, there are other ways to deal with that than running away with someone's dog. Or maybe she just wanted a free dog? For some more wildness, here's the entitled dad who tried to usurp his neighbor's driveway and got towed.

    Font - My dog, Maximo Tiberio, is a rescue dog. He has a lot of aggression problems. As a result, his vet recommended training him with a muzzle. The muzzle that my dog wears is totally comfortable for him, it doesn't hurt him or anything. So far we have had very good results. I take my dog to a dog park every Monday, along with my 11-year-old daughter. I took my dog to the dog park like I normally do, he was wearing the muzzle. I keep an eye on him, checking for signs of trouble.

    Font - Suddenly, I hear a girl cry, and my daughter is out of my field of vision, so I get worried. I tie Maximo up in an area specifically designated for that purpose, and I move no more than 15m away from him to search for my daughter. I find her (it was not her who was crying) and when I return for Maximo I see this girl running towards him, she takes him in her arms and runs back to her car. Max is visibly stressed but because of the muzzle he can't do anything. The park was almost empty, so

    Font - I went to the police station, there, they identified the owner of the car and sent a patrol to look for my dog. A day later, the police returns with the girl and Maximo, who was in a deplorable state, very nervous and anxious. There, the girl explains to me that she took Maximo because she thinks I am abusing him and that she watches every Monday how he uses a muzzle against his will.

    Font - Regardless of her reasoning, no matter how noble she is, I decided that I would sue her anyway. The stress I felt, along with the state Maximo returned, is reason enough to sue her. My sister has another opinion. She says that I am being a horrible person for suing someone that thought she was doing the right thing and that the girl took a risk to save a dog that she believed he was being abused, and that's admirable. Some of my friends agree with her. I still want to sue her, but I would

No matter how well intentioned her reasoning was, she tried to steal your dog. If I were you I would pursue criminal charges if possible. Epic dog name, BTW.

    Font - MaybeAWalrus · 23h Certified Proctologist [22] NTA this girl stole your dog. The pathetic "i wanted to save him" is just a silly excuse to avoid being sued : if she wanted to save him, she should have called animal services. I don't know where you live, but I hope that you are considering pressing charges too ? What she did was a criminal offense

    Font - Ikwinchester 23h There, the girl explains to me that she took Maximo because she thinks I am abusing him and that she watches every Monday how he uses a muzzle against his will. Not for her to simply decide rather than having a conversation with you, the dog owner. Sue her. NTA

    Font - The__Riker__Maneuver · 22h Asshe Aficionado [12] She didn't think she was doing the right thing She DELUDED herself into thinking she was doing the right thing based on casual observations made at a distance. If she was worried about the animal, there are rescues and government offices you can contact to report animal abuse...sort of like involving CPS if you suspect child abuse She didn't do that though She made an assumption and stole a dog based on that false assumption. She absolutely

    Font - LittleFairyOfDeath · 23h Asshe Enthusiast [7] NTA. That girl has issues. Of course a dog isn't necessarily happy about a muzzle, but sometimes it is still necessary. Also she stole your dog. If she was worried she could've informed animal services

    Font - PMyra · 23h Partassipant [1] INFO You said you aren't a native speaker so I wanted to clarify what you meant by "sue". When you "sue" someone, you take them to court for money. I think you might actually mean "press charges" which is when you have the police take legal action for theft of your dog. 211 Reply Share Report Save Boring-Exit9303 OP · 22h Yes, this is what I meant. Sorry for the confusing wording.

    Font - StevenKnowsNothing · 23h Partassipant [4] NTA while her heart was in the right place, she went about it the worst way possible. She should've documented what she thought the abuse was, contact an animal rights group for advice and then confronted you about it. Instead, she stole a dog, putting it through an extremely stressful situation
