[QUOTE="Big Package, post: 3298930, member: 67494"] My wife and I have worked in animal care or the animal field for 40 years combined. I can't tell you how many times, especially in boonie land, of when people would fake a dog injury or even hurt the dog themselves to scam companies. One girl in a small rural town did that about a year before we left the Midwest. She did some crowd funding campaign listing the cost of injuries and got donations. She ended up with an 800 dollar vet bill, put the dog down and pocketed 15k. Fast forward a couple years there's a woman at my wife's work and she's doing the same thing. Walking her dog on the sidewalk, stopped for someone to pull out, injured the dog herself, called the cops on the driver who she had earlier waved on (the driver stopped anyway to double check when they lost sight of the dog). She is already getting hundreds of dollars from people for a dog she's just gonna decide to kill when the money stops coming. I could tell you dozens of other pizza drivers and mailman and tow truck drivers. These scammers saw an opening with you and the dog, [I]they[/I] probably hit it, and want to sue UPS. [/QUOTE]
