'I think you stole a dog': Kind samaritan "rescues" dog tied to a car in the freezing cold, only to be accused of stealing someone's pet

Hey, dog enthusiasts and canine connoisseurs. In today's world, you never know what will be the consequences of your actions. Some people get in trouble for doing things with the best of intentions, and others skate by while doing wrong by others without so much as a slap on the wrist. We have to be honest with you: we're not sure how to classify this story below. On one hand, we feel for the author of this story, and if we had been in their shoes, we probably would have done the same thing.

Imagine you're walking outside on a cold winter night, it's freezing rain, and you see a dog tied to a car outside. No one near him, no one coming back for him, so what do you do? You assume he's abandoned and take him out of the cold. However, some people have accused this good samaritan of stealing someone else's pet! Scroll down to read the full story below, and make sure to tell us what you think at the end.

100% we would have taken the dog home. We cannot stand to see people put their dogs in situations like this. Imagine leaving your child out in the rain alone, even for a minute. You wouldn't, would you?

Well, if they did take someone else's dog, at least the post has gone viral enough that if someone is looking for them, they will find them. That's the beauty of the internet, nothing is secret for very long.
