Mayor “Kidnaps” Dog

Came across this story about the mayor of a small town in Texas who after being asked to look after her neighbour's dog then phoned them to say that the young dog had died.

The dog was then later seen by the dog's breeder at a grooming salon and recognised some months later, she contacted the owners - they mayor did not return their calls so they were forced to start legal proceedings. A judge is to deliver a verdict tomorrow on who gets to look after it.

The story at the BBC was short on some details so after some searching I found this full account of the events .

What I have trouble understanding is why the dog has not been returned to his rightful owners without the lawyers getting their noses into the trough.
