Cops bust couple for selling neighbor’s lost puppy on CRAIGSLIST

SEPTEMBER 19–A Pennsylvania couple who found a neighbor’s lost puppy is facing criminal charges after they allegedly opted to sell the dog for $50 on Craigslist instead of returning the pooch to its owner, police allege.

The six-month-old Rottweiler puppy (and a second dog) appeared earlier this month at the Leechburg home of Scott and Roxanne Duff, according to a probable cause affidavit. Roxanne Duff, 38, called cops since she “was unsure what she had to do with the dogs,” adding that the puppy “had taken off again and did not return to her residence.”

Later that night, Shawn Lerch, owner of the two dogs, informed cops that Duff returned his golden retriever, but that the puppy, named Bailey, was still missing.
