Question: Soto loses his cat ( Toby ) and posts signs in his neighborhood offering a reward for the cat's return. While hiking, Dominguez finds Toby

Soto loses his cat (Toby) and posts signs in his neighborhood offering a reward for the cat's return. While hiking, Dominguez finds Toby lying in a ditch, injured. Dominguez has visited Soto's home in the past and recognizes Toby's distinctive color markings. He picks up Toby and returns the cat to Soto who praises Dominquez as a "Good Samaritan." Driving out of Soto's neighborhood, Dominguez sees (for the first time) one of Soto's lost pet reward signs attached to a telephone pole. Dominguez brakes to a halt, jumps out of the car, and rips off the sign offering a $200 reward for the cat's return. He returns to Soto's house and demands payment of the reward. Soto refuses to pay. Is Soto contractually obligated to pay the reward to Dominguez?
a. Yes, because Dominguez provided 'Good Samaritan' service.
b. Yes, because Soto received an unexpected benefit.
c. No, because Dominguez did not see the sign posting the reward offer before returning Toby to Soto
d. No, because Dominguez found the cat by accident.
