Take the dog and give it the loving home it deserves.

Even with good intensions, Taking someone else’s dog is illegal.

I'd say rehoming neglected animals is one of those areas where the moral benefit outweighs the illegality.

Yes but an individual can’t decide to rehome someone’s dog. Animal control and/or a rescue organization has to do it.

I'm just saying that I see nothing morally wrong with stealing that dog. I do understand that would be theft.

So is paying someone else’s parking meter.

Continuing to Feed the meter is illegal (whether your own car or someone else’s) only if it results in the car staying over the allowed maximum length of stay.

That’s a bit different than stealing someone’s pet.

I would but the house has so much junk and trash outside of it I’d be weary. It’s the only house on the block that’s like that.

You’re looking for the words leery or wary. Weary means tired. Those are easy to mix up, it’s like a combination of the two.

Anyway, I’ve been dealing with a similar situation. I assumed the barking would stop once it got cold but no luck.

I was just about to respond with exactly this. I don’t know why this malapropism makes me so insane but it does. Thank you friend.

Have you tried beating your neighbors with a stick? Just knock on the door and start swinging, cops will be called, then they will call animal control. You will get a record but hey it saves the dog.

Sounds exactly like the kinda piece of shit people I pictured when I first read your post.

Downvote all you like, but there are people who are legitimate pieces of shit, either by choice of because they don't know any better. And a special place in Hell is reserved for people who mistreat animals. Fuck these neighbors of OP.

I can’t advise against stealing someone’s dog in Northern Vermont strongly enough.
