I read about this story a few days ago and was shocked, amused, and saddened all at once. A Dallas family lost their dog on Christmas Eve, and spent the next few days searching for him.
Then, on New year's Day, they got a letter from a woman explaining that she found their dog and gave it to her daughter as a Christmas present. She also included $20.00 in the envelope. Payment for the dog? Cost of pain and suffering? Money to buy a replacement?
You can read the full letter here.
All I'm saying is, if you can have a person's dog for a mere $20.00, I need to have a long overdue conversation with my neighbors. I've had my eye on their dog for a while now...
And if this is how to get Christmas presents cheaply, I've been doing it all wrong.
