After becoming the best of friends, the Reddit user joined a Facebook group dedicated to the unusual pure breed that the dog is, posting a pic of the hound to the group.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t long before a lady messaged them saying that the dog belonged to her, thanking them for finding and arranging to get the dog, even offering to pay for the care that they gave the animal.<\/p>\n
The dog in question has unique markings so it\u2019s identity was unmistakable and it soon appeared that the dog was previously a show champion, with a rich background in obedience and agility.<\/p>\n
The user continued on the thread by saying: \u201cShe said her house caught fire last year and she lost everything, including my dog who ran away. Nobody knows how she travelled so far or what happened between when she got lost and when my friend found her.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe never stopped looking for my dog. She even had a video of my dog as a super cute puppy getting a microchip. No idea why the shelter and my vet couldn’t find it but my dog had one at some point.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told the woman I appreciated the great job she did with my dog for the first few years of her life (she’s five) and I was sorry to hear about her circumstances but I couldn’t give up my beloved girl. She’s my support animal so I’m not even sure I could live without her. I offered to send her pictures regularly but she turned really nasty.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn’t choose for this special dog to change my life so much anymore than she chose for my dog to get lost. I ultimately blocked her because she wouldn’t leave me alone.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince she was listed with the shelter for the hold period and no microchip was found, I’ve adopted her and she’s mine. I am legally in the right but am I morally wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/reach-taboola> <\/reach-converse> <\/reach-adyoulike> <\/p>\nThe nature of the AITA thread is to determine whether the user is in fact \u2018the a**hole\u2019 or not. The verdict you ask? \u2018A**hole\u2019 stamped in red at the top of the now closed thread.<\/p>\n
Reddit users seemed to sway strongly in the way of this verdict. In total, 2.5 thousand comments were left below the thread before it was locked by the moderator.<\/p>\n
One comment read: \u201cThough it’s incredibly difficult… YTA (standing for \u2018You\u2019re the a**hole\u2019). It’s not \u2018your dog\u2019 you just thought it was. Put yourself in her shoes. Give the dog back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another also urged them to put themselves in the original owner\u2019s shoes, adding: \u201cThe original owner had the dog five YEARS and she’s had it nine months and is complaining about losing their beloved pet? Imagine how that woman feels losing her pet and house. Not your dog, give it back.\u201d<\/p>\n
A third commented referring to the original poster as OP, saying: \u201cOP, this woman lost E V E R Y T H I N G she has in a house fire, including her five-year best friend. Go back to that shelter, adopt another wonderful pupper who is in there by themselves right now, and give this woman her dog back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Someone even flipped the scenario on its head questioning how the user would feel if they were the original owner and the dog was used as their support dog, commenting: \u201cI wonder if OP\u2019s reaction would\u2019ve been different if the dog had been the original woman\u2019s support dog, or if she would\u2019ve just decided that \u201cI need a support dog more than she does.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reddit deemed the person as the official \u2018a**hole\u2019, but what do you think? Can you see the argument from both sides?<\/p>\n
