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.

[Zacs Mom]

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

Aside from everything else--and this is the first I've heard of this dog story---would anyone hear feel comfortable engaging a law firm with the name "Hoey and Farina"!

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."

[Capriole]

We blew out their server! I think that's hilarious.

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??

[cyborg]

LOL love the thread title

[Capriole]

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?

[Slings and Arrows]

The sad thing is that it sounds like the scumbag's boss is angry because the scumbag embarrassed the firm, not because he's a scumbag.

The good thing is that the dog is home.
