Users urge the deputies to find the pup a better home

Facebook users have poured in the suggestions on the comment section asking the sheriff not to hand the puppy back to the owner and find him a better home instead. “Don’t give him back to the owner. Let the shelter adopt him out to a family that actually cares and can obviously take care of him (since he was shoplifting to begin with). Do the right thing”, recommended one user.

“Please don’t give that sweet puppy back to a criminal. Let animal control put it up for adoption”, appealed another user. An individual shared his dog’s experience saying, “This is how we ended up with our family pet who was a Rottweiler found chained under the sink in a drug bust. CoCo was trained as a therapy dog and visited retirement homes”.
