Readers ring up a happy ending for dog story
Published February 10, 2005
Michael Korzeniewski's cell phone rang in Cape Coral, Fla., on Wednesday evening. Too bad the call came 40 days late.
It was from the alleged dognapper, Chicago lawyer James Foley, who found Ariel the dog while on vacation in Florida, took her home to Chicago and refused to send Ariel back to her master, Korzeniewski's 7-year-old son, Miles.
Foley had stalled for more than a month, saying he couldn't give the dog back because the family couldn't prove ownership and because he'd already given it to some mystery nun Foley refused to name.
That mystery nun finally figured right from wrong because Foley was on the phone telling Korzeniewski that the dog was coming home.....

Woohoooo!
James Foley, you are still a jerk.
update ping
I am glad the kid is getting his dog back.
Its too bad this had to happen, When a man finds a stray dog and buys a special shipping container and has that dog shipped hundreds of miles by air and spends hundreds of dollars on shots and vet bills he certainly has no intention of returning that dog to its owner, nor of giving it to some mystery nun.
That's putting it mildly!
Yippee! Prayers worked! I love a Happy Ending. :)
For shining the light on a cockroach who took a kid’s dog, I say “thanks” to the writer. I ask all you Freepers to consider sending the reporter a note ... jskass@tribune.com
That just strikes me as funny.
I guess the man finally figured out it would probably be a heck of a lot less trouble to go find his own dog, instead of stealing a little kid's best buddy.
Nowadays, a lot of people have the vet microchip their pets. A microchip can prove ownership, and can aid in getting a lost dog back to its owner.
Just recently, a friend of mine lost her dog in a very large city. A kind woman picked the dog up, and when she took it to the Vet, they found the microchip. The dog was returned to her very grateful owner, and the Good Samaritan got a $500.00 reward.
Good Wor.
"Korzeniewski said he didn't want the readers of this column to miss it either. He wanted you to see the reunion in the photograph running on Page 1 of today's newspaper.
That's only fair, since you're the ones who called Foley's law firm--Hoey & Farina--in such numbers that you swamped the office phones and panicked the secretaries and apparently blew out the computer server with angry anti-lawyer e-mails."
And to judge by the tone of Foley's boss, they are not happy with that bad man. If he's not already a partner in that law firm, he's not gonna be. Bringing opprobium on one's employer is not a ticket to advancement.
DOES ANYONE HAVE THE PHOTO TO POST??
LOL love the thread title
Can anybody pull the pictures of the boy-dog reunion off of the front page of the Trib and post them, or is that not allowed?
