Imagine taking your beloved dog to the park, only to have someone steal him right from under your nose! That’s exactly what happened to one dog owner, who was left reeling after a woman took off with his rescue pup, Maximo Tiberio. The woman believed the dog was being mistreated due to his muzzle, but little did she know, it was actually a vet-recommended training tool for Maximo’s aggression issues. Now, the owner is considering pressing charges, and it’s causing quite the stir among friends and family.
