I've kept a dog for two years after stealing her from a family that loved her
How did you take that family's dog?
I knew the dog. I met her on the street and put her up at my place. I kept her with me for two years until I replaced her with a cat
It is wrong to steal pets from other families. It is like losing a family member and it would hurt the family a lot.
I've got a cat now, so I removed the dog from my house. She's in a better place now (next door neighbor's house.
Give the pet back to its rightful owner. They are probably worried sick about the pet and want to know where it is.
