Q: I was helping my brother post a dog that he found on the side of the road on a lost and found site.
It was a puppy that had fleas and worms in bald spots. It seemed neglected. Waited a few days and got no contact. It has been vaccinated and was rehomed. Before post I can put the post down I got a call. They admitted they let the puppy roam with cat’s outside, I guess this is why he was on the side of the road. It’s been passed down to so many people and I don’t know where the dog is she thinks I do know she wants to press charges I’m all the way in New York this dog is in Pennsylvania. I just posted the dog. Is there a case here? What should I expect?
A: If you never had possession of the dog and only helped your brother post that he found a lost dog I don’t see a case against you. However, I can’t promise that they won’t try.
