Vet Bill and other costs.

Re microchipping (if needed) - you can often find offers at places like P@H (if one near you) or sometimes the charities do offers on them. HTH

I wish I knew the whole story from beginning to the end with all details - very weird...

If your dog had no tag/no chip - how did the woman got your contact details to call you in the first place?

When she did - why didn't you go to pick up the dog yourself?

What "official" called and what about?

All very, VERY weird.....

Hmmm...it does seem odd when you think about it.

Obviously more to this story then. Can you enlighten us, adewolves?

.. and how did the vet know your number? to call you?

she could not have left the vet your number as she did not know who's the dog was so she did not have your details/number herself so? if she knew the dog had an owner and had your details (how?) why would she be taking the dog to the vets?

sorry but.. all this just simply does not ad up - not at all

but I wait to be enlightened and corrected of course

Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't believe a word of this story :rotfl:

A more cynical person might think the OP was trying to pull a similar fast one on someone else and checking to see if their story would be a viable one :whistle:

gettingready

or.... the woman who "found the dog" felt the dog was neglected /snatched it/took it to the vets knowing all the time who's dog it is and the "official" was a dog warden to whom cruelty to the dog was reported....

no idea till the OP explains - could go many ways but not as describen in the first post, sorry.. no way

So come on OP. What's going on then?

Microchip your dog and this sort of thing shouldn't happen, the vet would/ should scan for a chip and contact you immediately.

I wonder if she was doing it as a sort of ransom. Hoping you'd put posters up saying 'reward for lost dog' and then she'd get the money off you.

Unfortunately for her it didn't work that way!

In a nutshell this is what happened. I noticed my dog had gone, somehow the back gate had blown open. Me the wife and our kids and kids friends went round the streets looking for him. All this was to no joy of course.

We then got a list of all the nearby kennels and vets to see if the dog had been taken there, eventually one of the vets said a dog of that exact description had been bought in, he thought it strange as there wasn't or didn't even look like there was anything wrong with the dog.

Someone phoned us because they saw the picture I had put in the local shop, then right after that the person who had the dog phoned us and said she would bring the dog round...but we had to pay a vet bill, plus food petrol, even bathing him..that aint a joke either. That's when I came on here for advice.

Then when I phoned her back with the advice aI'd got she went mental, then her husband started to have a go. She wouldn't give her address out to us and the vets were not allowed because of data protection, but the vets informed us that they were 100% behind us and that if she didn't return the dog to inform the police and they would hand the address to them and the police would collect him.

The dog wasn't neglected or ill treated in any way by us.
