    The Story Begins

    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. Suddenly, I he

    So, what we gather from the start of this story is that while Maximo Tiberio isn't a perfect dog by any means, he and his owner are both working really hard on addressing those issues. That being said, he sounds great with kids, good at the park, and there's nothing standing out that screams abuse or mistreatment to us. He really just sounds like a normal rescue dog.

Now we're sure he's not being abused, because he just looks way too happy, clean, and loved.

    This Seems Pretty Cut And Dried To Us

    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.

    Cut And Dried To This Guy Too

    Rectangle - hailbeavis · 8 mo. ago Asshole Enthusiast [5] NTA. There are plenty of dogs out there in need of a loving home - yours isn't one of them.

    Oooh, Now This Is Getting Sinister

    Font - Negative_Patient1974 · 8 mo. ago I'm skeptical she actually was well meaning. People steal dogs all the time. My guess is that was the most convenient excuse. 1.0k Give Award Share Report Save Redundant_fox221 · 8 mo. ago Agree. If she was truly concerned about the dogs wellbeing/that he was being neglected, there are other avenues to pursue to address that - report to police or local animal orgs, etc. You don't just steal a dog, especially when you don't know the full situation. 623 Give

    We Ain't No Narcs, But That Would've Been The Time To Call The Cops

    It Was All About Her, Not Max

    Font - myglasswasbigger · 8 mo. ago Asshole Enthusiast [6] She could have asked you why you had your dog muzzled but no she decided to stealing your dog was the way to go. NTA and you should press charges. 22 5 Give Award Share Report Save

    We Couldn't Agree More

    Font - MaybeAWalrus · 8 mo. ago Pooperintendant [62] 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 5.3k Give Award Share Report Save
