My advice would be to take this in front of a judge and have the dog awarded to who the judge feels the owner of the dog, I would say, I would assume the judge would think this as well, that the dog was abandoned and you have taken ownership of it, but keeping the dog and not giving it to her is going to cause a lot of trouble it is best to take it to court rather than arguing with each other about it  |

I'd tell them straight up, the dog belongs to my children now, they have named her, she is part of the family, I have trained her, and that is the end of the story. If you would like to have her back, you can reimburse me for food, treats, toys, boarding, and medical care.  |

And by law, they abandoned the dog, after 30 days, it's considered abandonment. |

Keep her. He abandoned her, and you know full well he was looking for a new home for it. Anyone who would treat an animal like it has no feelings shouldn't be allowed to have one. Grrrr...  |

If you and your family are really attached to this dog, then go and have it licensed in your name if you have'nt already. Most cities and towns have oridinaces about having dogs licensed, shots up to date, etc. Then if you have to go to court you can present all your bills, receipts, and any other evidence that it is yours.  |

Oh.... and then let the judge see if your brother is fit for supervised visits. |

Dude, you've had this dog a freakin month. This is ridiculous. If it were me and my bro decided not to come pick up the dog when he said he would, I likely would have taken it to a shelter to get adopted (puppies are never really hard to get rid of)...but that's me. Your bro sounds really rude and irresponsible. Is he going to do this with a kid some day? lol! I'd def. ask for money...charge what a kennel would have (those are really pricey). Tell him he can't have the dog til you have the money...otherwise you know you'll never see it.  |

wow. i'd be smacking my brother up side his head!! of course mine knows me well enough to know if he dropped a dog at my house and didn't pick it up the next day it would be gone by the next day. i would just tell him that the dog is yours now. you've already spent X amt. of dollars on it and your kids are attached. he can either pay you back for dog food, toys, vet services or leave the dog where it is. AND... i don't know if i would be comfortable keeping a pit with little kids. the best thing may be for your brother to take the dog and you just get another breed for the kids. i know i know....i'm doggie profiling but they can turn with no warning. my dog is a pit bull/choc lab mix and as sweet as she is i never let the little ones in the yard alone with her. we had a dalmation before this one and she was pure evil and we never let the little ones in the yard with her even if we were out there too. my neighbors let their dogs run all over and there's one huge black dog (with an extra toe on each foot) that hangs out when the kids are there. well she hangs out longer when the kids are there and she's the only dog i let the kids mess with. she lays down on her back and basically lets the kids ride her. she never licks them and when they get too close to her face she turns her head.  |

here's another legal action you can take, give him back the dog but charge him for storage fees for housing the dog, if someone leaves their property on your property 30 days or more even though you have told them many times to pick it up and they don't you can get rid of it, keep, or charge the owner a storage fee for it, but still I would take it in front of a judge taking the matter in your own hands is going to cause more trouble than it's worth, and if you use a TV judge go to people's court, Judge Milian is very sympathetic to pets and pet owners |

Mmmmm, could your brother not be telling you the whole story? I'm wondering if he ordered the pup as present for his girlfriend, who said she didn't want it or perhaps it was a surprise and they had a fight and he changed his mind. Maybe he was committed in taking the pup from the people he bought it off, and didn't know what to do with it. The gf could have been saying she didn't want a dog. Then she changed her mind, or something along those lines. Cos of the way he acted about the whole pup thing, sounds to me like he was avoiding trouble, and now rather than saying to his girlfriend he dumped the pup on you, he is saying you were holding it for him?????? I would talk to him about giving you money for looking after her, and if he refuses just say that you will ask the girlfriend then. See his response.  |

He left the puppy with you, said he would come and get it the next day but didn't then visited your house after that and didn't mention wanting it back? Yeah the puppy is yours.  |

Do what's right for the dog and keep it. Dogs don't belong at apartments...  |

I'd keep it, he left it for a month & didn't inquire about the animal when asked about it, so therefore I think it's your pet to keep. If he & his girlfriend are never home, there is no point in giving the puppy over to them so it can sit in an apartment all day by itself. The puppy sounds better off with you anyway.  |

Possession is 9/10 of the law. Your brother has no written documentation that you were just supposed to hold the puppy, board it, then give it back when he was ready to retrieve it. you have dated receipts for the items and food you bought for the puppy. Do you have receipts from the veterinarian for any shots that the puppy has had? For all intents and purposes, the puppy is yours. You made several attempts to get him to come get the pup, but he didn't respond to your request. The puppy is rightfully yours.  |
