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.....

Thanks for the ping!
I listed this yesterday, and the response was overwelming. I think this attorney was blindsided by all of us.
The moral of this story, besides what pertains to doing what is right, is don't underestimate the power of what the FReeper league can do while still in their PJs.

:) Thanks for the ping.
I hope he faces federal charges (interstate).
Yeah, but saying "scumbag lawyer" is being repetitive & redundant.
good point :o)
"I told him to do the right thing," Farina said. "And I told him he should do the right thing immediately, if you get my meaning."
And what is the "right thing," exactly?
"The right thing was for him to personally bring that dog to that family," Farina said. "I mean personally. And I mean immediately. It will be done by today. I guarantee it. It shouldn't have gone this far. And now it's over."
That's gonna leave a mark.
Here's the happy reunion - look at the smile on that dog's face!!!

Personal injury firm.... Why did it not surprise me that Mr. Foley was an ambulance-chaser?
Mr. Foley's legal career isn't looking too promising now. I'm sure his current firm will find a way to fire him shortly (if nothing else, for failure to produce a minimum number of billable hours, since all their clients will now refuse to work with the jerk). And even though the general public will quickly forget his common name, any prospective employer is going to run a Lexis-Nexis search on him before hiring him, and bring up this story and the charming quotes from his boss. He'll have trouble getting work at even the sleaziest, commission-only, ambulance chasing firm.
Go to the Tribune article linked at the top of this thread. The picture's in the article.
I am so glad about the happy ending, but I am still mystified by this story. Why did this guy do these things? If he wanted a dog, he could go to the shelter and get one for himself. It just struck me as so bizarre that he went to so much trouble to get, transport, and keep this particular dog, spending a lot of money in the process. I just don't get it... why was he so adamant about keeping this particular dog?
Awww... Happy ending.
You know how hard it is to get a dog back from an imaginary nun?
