Who ever took her and you have a heart ❤️ and a conscience take chow chow back to its owner ! Praying 🙏 for them to get back together!
How is this any different than someone getting their rat stolen? Talk about a robber setting their sights low!
The dog was reunited with her owner. She was left at an animal shelter and he picked her up!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 That just made my day
Praise God
❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, not a good idea to leave her in the park alone-hope he gets her back. Poor guy!

She was stolen. Make no mistake. If their intention was to return her she would have been back home within 24 hours (chipped and information on her collar) maybe not even that long
This is not his fault this is the families fault that took his dog!!!
Highly irresponsible to leave a dog alone in a dog park. So many scenarios that could happen. Hope he learned his lesson. Unfortunate situation.
You should have been watching her sir.
I know his feet hurt but they have walkers that have a seat on them! And he could have just sat and watched her run & play! And when she poo you have to see where she did her business so you can pick it up! So happy this had an happy ending
The Dogs human is a disabled human. He just stated that he could not walk, so he let Wiggles out to do her business. This is common and normal for disabled humans. I hope the people who took Wiggles will return Wiggles and to show forgiveness for the mans honest mistake 😢.❤🙏
at no point was it said that “he could not walk.” he literally _took_ *HER* to the dog park; (wiggles’ gender was referenced several times) this isn’t the yard outside his house. sitting in the car while one’s dog runs around the dog park unsupervised isn’t the same as being unable to walk.
Was the dog micro-chipped and with a collar? If I find a dog without a collar, I check for a microchip, if the dog has no microchip and no collar, I take it home, and will post on Craigslist and NextDoor. If I cannot find the owner or the owner doesn't want the animal back, I volunteer for a few dog rescues, and I will bring the dog through fostering and will re-adopt.
I have ALWAYS been able to find the owner, but I have no compunction whatsoever about taking a dog in, and I will not take it to a shelter, ever. I will do my due diligence, but if you can't bother with a $15 microchip or bother to get a tag on the dog, you're an idiot and really don't care about the animal. Two dogs I found had neither, both were reunited with owners. One just got a bath so they didn't have the collar on, the other was a malamute puppy that just got out of the yard, I explained to both owners that they were lucky, get the dog chipped.
Wiggles is home.. Someone turned him in to the Animal Shelter and they called Mr Parker.
I truly hope so, I feel his pain.
I frequent this for park and I've seen random dogs there unsupervised with no owner present before.
Never heard anything good about Vallejo. Now this…
Most, if not all dog parks I know of have benches for their owners to sit & watch their dogs play.
Some have them both inside the gates and outside.
Unless he was cold & needed to run the heat, he could have sat with her.
Seems the Park is not w/in easy view of the parking lot. All the more reason to not leave her alone there.
He’s not the first person to leave a dog in a park area & paid the high consequences. Another Vet lost his dog after he went to a Convenient store right across from a fenced in park area. Said she was the only dog in it. And came out to an empty play area. Don’t know if he got her back, as it was more a rest stop area for dogs to romp in. Gas station & big store right there. .
I’m sure this Vet here, won’t be leaving her alone ever again.
Glad they’re back together.
You take a dog from a dog park you should go to jail!
You leave a dog at a dog park you should go to jail
Kinda like VERY DUMB to not monitor your own "service dog".
They are expensive first of all, require extensive training and
resources. A dog park is a place that an owner NEEDS to be
present. There are other dogs there that could be violent or
aggressive and their owner must be present at all times. It
is a known detail among fellow dog parkers.
Why leave her alone?? Always keep an eye on them.
It’s odd to leave your dog unattended at a dog park, I’m hopping a 12 year old took it as someone abandoned their dog at a dog park. Who wants to take care of someone else’s animal? It’s not impossible but I’m leaning on “this is a misunderstanding” kinda response
Dogs aren’t missing if they’re stolen. They’re stolen.
No, dogs do go missing. I've found 4 dogs in the last 15 years. I always got them back to their owner, but I lived with one of them for 3 days before I found the owner. He was a good dog, was glad to return him though.
How do you lose a service dog, they're suppose to be right by your side all the time.
Service dogs aren’t always on duty.
Ah got it, so they can leave their owner any time.@@slaterchest7153
They did the right thing in taking her to a shelter.. He shouldn't have left her alone at the park for sure. .I would have taken her too thinking she was abandoned. but of course I would have tried to find her owner too...
That is not a service dog.
Your comment is not helpful
Vallejo?!? If i see anything I'll call SPCA/911 Not cool 🙏🏾
If she is chipped can’t they locate her?
I'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOUR PUPPY TO BE RETURNED SAFE AND SOUND IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME!!!!!!🐶🐶👵🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He "believes" it was taken from a dog park.
Perhaps he should have kept his eyes on the dog.
I don't doubt the person who took him thought he was abandoned.
Who would steal a chow dog?
Theyre friendly because theyre not afraid of nothin.
Bring Wiggles back home In Jesus Name 🙏🏼
wiggles was rescued and will get to live a better life. 1:48 that gnarly “bed” and feeding area is disgusting. i think i even saw insects around the kibbles and filthy water bowl.
you the one that took the dog? It would make sense… but you’re honesty awful for saying that.
@@DarkSpaceMarine hell no. i’d never do such a thing and besides, chows shed *WAY* too much… but i honestly don’t care what your opinion of me is. 🥱
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Stupiddddddddddd
I agree I think wiggle is better with the family that took him
Im sure the person who took the dog needed the dog more.
Dog nappers will not survive if caught.
