I abducted a puppy from the pound
That's theft you know. Why did you take the puppy from the pound?
I abducted a puppy from the pound because I wanted to give it a better life.
If you steal a puppy from the pound. If you can't afford to obtain it the legal way, then you should not have the puppy. Instead, you should take the right actions to obtain the puppy.
I just wanted to love a puppy and to give it a better life.
I understand that all dogs need a home, but you are taking away resources from the pound that helps give that process of adoption. I think you should take it back and save up money to properly adopt it and support the pound with the funds.
