If anyone in Arizona is still looking for some the Zia on Gilbert Road has three left . <| sep |> If someone lost a kid . not kidnapped but just to straight up lost their kid on the street for 3 days , would you call the parent , or would you call child services ? False comparison . You are talking about calling the authorities in the dog ' s case , taking the dog to a shelter , not keeping the kid in your house and raising it as your own . That is called kidnapping , and you would go to jail . if someone can ' t even bother to chip their dog , they aren ' t taking proper responsibility of their animal , and the animal deserves better . You are correct it is but being right about this one small detail doesn ' t automatically give you any right to decide that the other owner should no longer be the owner . There are people whose job it is to decide that .
