man, stealing a dog is evil. i can see stealing bikes, but taking somebody's family member, it's like the slave trade. treating person like commodities. people can be so evil.

post script. the dog that inspired the above was found at the next door neighbors, safe and sound, and not even stolen. kids, if you read of something on good neighbors, before you call the dog po-po's and call out a neighborhood search, look in the rumpus room, or ask your neighbor, good or bad. one time i recall a frantic cat mom sent out an s.o.s and her cat was in the laundry room, dreaming away in the soiled duds.
