Digging for dirt....

[GrApHiCTrOn]

i used NetDetective once to see what i could find out of my self around the internet and is just a program that is a search engine nothing really fancy but i think that www.google.com made a better job that NetDetective. It also gives you links to the FBI and addresses were you can write to get information.
Ask for favors instead

I agree with MsMittins,

He who throws dirt loses ground.,.

but sitting back and watching the show is not a good idea.. so Know thy enemy, get this information so you know your opponent.. Check your Defences.. check that she has a zero case.. check if the dog hasn't been "Chipped" , check if there is anyother way to identify the animal, to ahve the ammunition to protect your friend..

There must be more to this, than a dog picked up at random.. is there any links between the two ppl, partners ex-partners, childeren, employment even the organisation it self..????

As was commented 600 miles is a long way.. but some animal lovers are loopy enough.
some times the hardest legal opponent is a loopy person who .. is stupid, but not dumb.. and cant be classified as insane..

cheers

Loopy yes but how would someone who is 600 miles away find out about someone else adopting an animal that "might" match the description of theirs? This is the part I don't understand. I have three cats. If one got lost I'd be looking locally in Toronto, not going to Montreal to see if they showed up there.

And why not MsMittens? Cats can run like hell..

But after asking a few of my close sources, I found out that most cops if asked correctly will do a free background check if the conditions are right.. so I mentioned this and and I was told that without a doubt, if presented in a serious manner, cops would immediately help you out...

MsMittens, one flaw, Shelters check, by default if the animal is 'tagged', so if it really is from a shelter and she was able to adopt it, it's safe to say its not tagged by conventional methods.
Only proof she could supply would be Photographic, which with Animals is very weak at best.

Even though my friend is able to PROVE that the animal that she rescued came from a local shelter 3 months before this woman "lost" her dog

My only thought is that, if this is true - and she can 'PROVE' it... Then take Pak's suggestion and have her take that info to the same media along with 'her side' of the story - and possibly take it a little further and have her use an attorney to present that proof as a case for libel if the media prints the faulse accusations...

Thats my 2 cents anyway,

All the media has to do is insert the word "allegedly" into their story and they have pretty well covered their asses as far as libel is concerned...a sad but true fact of life. They have been offered the proof and have refused to even view it. As for having the dog scanned, that will happen Monday morning...as soon as it and it's new owner return from a trip out west. By then, of course, the damage will have been done.

man i am not joking around here but i think that some of the people who own dogs are a little bit insane. Last year when my mom was driving me to my school a dog walker attacked us. Dont laugh because i am not joking. this crazy bitch dog walker accused us of going to fast (we were going 20 miles per hour on a 25 mile per hour road) and that we could have hit her dog. She was on the side of the road walking her dog when she thought that our car might damage her oh so precious dog...so what does she do? this phsyco bitch throws her body in front of the dog so that if my mom were attempting to hit her dog (which she was not ) we would end up running into the lady first and killing her, but her dog would be saved due to the fact that the phsyco dog walker lady's dead body would land on top of the dog and protect it. Well it turns out that we were no wheres near the dog or the female dog walker but she decides to run out in front of us to protect her dog so we naturally stop the car not wanting to kill a possibly mentally retarded human being. The dog walker then starts to swear at us and smashed her coffee mug against the hood of our car (musta been decaf...that **** can make anyone go insane ) and runs over to my mom's open window and throws her coffee on my mom and tells her that we were *******s for almost killing her dog. Well my mom wasnt to happy about this so she drove away and called my dad who works for the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office and immedietly 5 crusiers are dispatched to catch this bitch. Anyways long story short they never caught her and i have never seen the dog walker again...she probably killed a little girl who was trying to pet her lame dog and now is tucked away in some metal institution.

Anyways this is a true story i swear it but my point is that some of these dog walker/dog owner people are pretty hardcore about their pets. I think that if there was a law suit your friend would easily win since she has real proof and in court photos normally arent enough and a photo of some dog defiently wont convince the judge that she previously owned the pet. The media thing is a problem though, and i think a quick lawsuit would be an easy way to get it all over with. Sorry for my post, it was a funny story and i thought it belonged here

Loopy yes but how would someone who is 600 miles away find out about someone else adopting an animal that "might" match the description of theirs?

you and me both.. there is as I commented something missing in the story.. a jilted lover, ex partner, pissed off work mate, an even loopier relation.. there is a link but it isnt in the immediate information..

I think I have read too much Agatha Christie..
