If I see a dog on the street with no leash, collar or tags, can I take it to the shelter even if someone on the street claims it's their dog?

Why would you abduct another persons dog?

With no tags, how can one tell whose it is?

I'd stay away as you don't know if it has any diseases, etc. If it looks neglected, call animal control.

Why wouldn't you just give them back their dog
