'Now he's telling people I "stole" their dog': A year after nourishing an abandoned dog, woman's ex-boyfriend claims it's his new girlfriend's, demanding the dog back but not providing evidence of ownership

Do you know what every dog deserves? To be loved, cared for, to be safe and sound, and have their needs met. Do you know what dogs do not deserve? To be in the middle of a vindictive fight between humans. Some people develop vindictive tendencies towards other people (which is wrong in and of itself), but if they keep it between only the people - they can always try to solve it like grown-ups. But if they drag a dog into this fight? Well, then they don't deserve an ounce of what they planned their revenge as. Dogs don't need to be stuck in the middle of it.

But one such dog, a sweet but neglected creature of the streets, was stuck in the middle of such an argument. A kind woman adopted the dog and nursed him back to health. So far, a heartwarming and candid adoption story. But this woman had an ex-boyfriend who seemed to be hellbent on some form of disruptive vengeance against her. Now, we don't know the nature of their breakup, and if this ex sought revenge because he was hurt or because he's just a not-great-person (to say the least) - but in his search for ways to disrupt his ex-girlfriend, he involved the dog. The innocent, uninvolved dog.

Generally, we really think dogs, and any pets, should stay out of petty human arguments. The animals have nothing to do with it, and they shouldn't have anything to do with it. To people we say - deal with your things like grown-ups. But some just don't do that. This ex-boyfriend claimed this once-street-dog belongs to his new girlfriend. Spoiler alert: The kind woman who saved the dog still gives the sweet dog the love and care he deserves. But, wow, the gall of that ex-boyfriend really riled up the online canine community.

We love it when a dog in need gets the love and care they deserve. Even if a dog looks sick and malnourished, they should have the chance to be nurtured back to health, with lots of love and affection. They'll give this love and affection back, tenfolds.

Does this comment sum it all up, or not?
Honestly, all we wish for is a happy life for the dog, who's now out of the streets, being fed, treated medically, cared for, and loved. It seems that this is what this doggo gets while being under the care of this kind woman. So, yes, we think this comment rather sums it up. But the online canine community had lots more to add:
