Unfortunatey, it's common for pet owners not to update their dog tags after they move. If the dog tags were updated the dog owner would have been easily located.

The right thing to do is to give the dog back. But we ARE talking about a lawyer here...

Even if the tags were updated, from the sound of this guy, it appears he would have taken the dog anyway.

And the shelter wouldn't have euthanized the dog if they were aware it was reported and family members were searching for it.

Sorry A** lawyer ought to be strung up!

Cheers!

The attorney is a real piece of work. Kudo's to the columnist for writing the story.

This is the Chicago Tribune isn't it?
The law offices have been open for over an hour by now, my guess is the dogs flight back to FL is already booked, and the pouch is already on the way to the airport.

Foley: "Because the guy's a pain in the ass."

....It must be a lawyers' joke. Someone might want to call Hoey & Farina in Chicago and ask them to explain the amusing punch line. I just don't get it. It doesn't amuse me.

Yeah, it's more like a joke of a lawyer. Yet one more data point as to why I hate lawyers! This guy's a first class PR#%K!

Lawyers seem to think they own the world! I hope many, many, many bad things befall this guy and his D-bag firm.

[Manic_Episode]

This guys definitely part of the 99% of lawyers that give the other 1% a bad name.

[socal_parrot]

Both my dogs have microchips. It's great, although the black helicopters circling my house are very troubling.

[Uncledave]

I wonder if the lawyer sent a bill for his phone time to the boy.

[FourtySeven]

You really don't get the full impact of how much of a jerk this guy is until you read the whole story. He's basically being such a jerk about it because he doesn't like how he was treated by the kid's father. So he's gonna punish a little kid, for something the kid's father did.

Like I said, a real jerk.

[TexasRepublic]

It would be money better spent neutering lawyers rather than dogs.

I agree with the others,
Give the boy back his dog.

Makes ya look like a jerk fella.

[RetroWarrior]

Why don't they split the dog right up the middle?

[rawhide]

This kid will get his dog back. There is no way the lawyer will be able to keep it.
Question, it seems to me the lawyer is lying about diffrent parts of his story, so what does that say to what kind of lawyer he is? Isn't there something called ethics?
If I were his law firm, I would not want this kind of publicity.

[TChris]

And this dognapping lawyer has the temerity to call the little boy's father a "pain in the ass"!?
