case :

In Oregon, a mans dog scaled his fence and ran away. The man searched for his dog. He put up fliers, posted on craigslist, and alerted the local animal control by filing a report. He never saw the dog again until he saw it in a girls car outside a caf in Portland. His dog had been found by the girl who later named the dog Bear. She taught the dog how to be a service dog because she suffered from dangerous asthma attacks. The girl admitted finding the dog at the time that it ran from the mans yard. The two were supposed to meet up later so she could return the dog, but she later refused and wanted to keep the dog. The man said that the dog was his property and that because it was lost and not abandoned, he was entitled to get it back, so he filed a lawsuit. How do you think the judge decided? [Biggs v. Hanson-Fleming, Case No. 1207-08704 (Or. Cir. Ct. 2012).]
