One Pennsylvania couple has been accused of doing something
a little unexpected with a lost puppy that showed up at their house this month

Scott and Roxanne Duff of Leechburg now face charges for
failing to make reasonable efforts to return lost property, conspiracy, and
filing false reports. They are accused
of calling police when a neighbor’s 6-month-old Rottweiler and a Labrador
retriever showed up at their house Sept. 3. They asked what to do with the dogs
and were told to contact a local shelter or reach out to the regional dog
catcher, police told the Valley News Dispatch.
But that didn’t happen. While the couple returned the
Labrador to their neighbor, they later told police the Rottweiler puppy had run
away. That neighbor didn’t believe this
story, and told police the next day that he thought the Duffs still had his puppy.
When police asked the couple about the puppy again, they
allegedly admitted to selling it on Craigslist for $50….
