The dog looks to be in good health and friendly, so I'm assuming he's been taken care of, fed, and not abused.

There was no proof the dog was dumped, we don't know the circumstances of them going out of town, and we now know a little boy has lost his dog.

So if I find a bike that I think is abandoned, find the original owners and deem them unworthy, I can just give it to someone else that I do think is worthy? I should also be able to do that with lost toddlers in the mall.
While I do understand what you're saying, if I were the dog's owner, I'd be over to pick the poor thing up as soon as I could, and if for some reason I couldn't, I'd call. I'd feel bad about imposing my animal on someone else.

Good decision, Grey. I feel bad for the little girl, though.
