Sandy Hook, CT asked in Animal / Dog Law for Connecticut

Q: Service Dog stolen

Major

I am doing this to help my friend, a disabled vet whose service dog was stolen when he was very ill in the hospital. This is in Connecticut. We know where the dog is but she refuses to give him back. Can you help in any way? It's been over a year now since he was taken. We gave only had empty promises of a pro bono attorney who has done nothing, although she says he has a very strong case. Of course he does - it's his dog! The dog is microchipped and registered to Raymond. He's had Major since he was a pup of 8 weeks. He is heartbroken and really wants and needs Major back. Can you please help??

A: Have you filed a complaint with the police? It is stolen property and you want the property - service dog back. Filling charges with the police would put pressure on the person who stole the dog..
