This is a sad scenario. Here you are trying to be a good citizen and feeding these dogs and then, this idiot has the nerve of accusing you of stealing them. Based on what you have said, I would not fault you if you had taken them ... they would be a lot better off. I think you are doing the right thing in contacting the Sheriff. I would just keep a close watch on all of your animals. My dad lives in Arkansas on a lot of land and he used to let his dogs wander around and one day, my dad's neighbor accused my dad's dogs of killing his chickens. Mind you, my dad lives in an area with tons of wildlife ... foxes, coyotes, racoons etc. that could have easily killed the chickens. Next thing you know my Dad's dog Britney got really ill and after taking her to the vet, it was discovered she was poisoned and she died. So now my Dad's two other dogs have to be penned up instead of being able to enjoy the life they once had. People are so mean.

Sometimes no good deed goes unpunished. What an unfair and terrible thing to have happened to you (and whatever fate befell those poor pups). Please keep us posted about how this turns out.
