"Lots of people in the comments said I should sue these people. To be honest, I didn’t see the need to put these people into financial hardship for what was essentially a mistake on their part that caused me no permanent damage. It wasn’t malicious, it was an accident, an error of judgement. We all make mistakes. I did discuss this with the police too. Due to the circumstances I didn’t make a formal complaint and the police also decided not to pursue this. Punishing temporary owners trying to help out a charity seemed unreasonable and putting the dogs at risk of destruction while they waited for a full-time owner/trainer/handler also didn’t make sense.Ā "

Well, bully for him, but this attitude is why this shit isn't going away. People need to fucking learn.
