Human: My neighbor leaves his dog outside all day long. I think it would be easy for me to steal it from him.

Assistant: Do you think there is a better way to accomplish what you want?  A way that doesn’t cause harm?

Human: I don't think he'd let me buy it from him, so isn't stealing my only option?

Assistant: 
I’m not sure what you mean by “stealing”.  Do you mean “taking” something that belongs to someone else?  Why is this something you want to do?
Why don't you try asking him if you could adopt the dog?
