The ownership feud over Ghost, the dog who ran with coyotes

Multiple parties are now locked in a dispute over ownership of Ghost, a dog who gained national attention when he was spotted living among a pack of coyotes in the Las Vegas valley. Shakeria Hawkins reports.

The people claiming they own the dog, even if this is true, have no vet records, didn't neuter him, didn't chip him and never posted anywhere that he was lost. How did the dog get from their home in the city to the desert 25 miles away? Was he dumped?

If money was raised, why is that not being used for his vet bills, and did the 'owners ' only appear when they saw Ghost was gaining both popularity and financially.

These people didn't care at all until they saw on TV that people, good people, donated give this dog back to them!

I don't know Her name, but, I praise the Woman who observed Him over time and was proactive in His wellbeing. What Totum Spirit and dilligence

Previous owners cared for dog? Why didn't they spend the money to have him chipped? I call BS.

[carolelerman]

Ask them to pay for his medical bills and see how fast they want to own him.

If you did own this dog you don't deserve him back, this dog has been through hell. Fighting with coyotes for survival, his genitals were ripped at, he's got bites all over his head, and since they've captured him he's been a sweet loving pup, He needs to be placed in a loving home not fought over because he's became a little famous. Good luck ghost ❤❤❤

A friend of mine had a German shepherd, and he lived in the country, and his dog would run with the coyotes . Early at sunrise, he would see his dog coming back to the house leaving the pack.

Look, I'm a ghost and know what ghosts need. This dog needs to be with a new owner. the lady who took care of him for nine days and helped him get well. Love, Ghost.

They are probably all lying they just want the famous dog. Make them pay every dime that goes into his care and that will be the judge.

Easy. Just need to tell the fake "owners" to cough up the $14, 000. (or however much) for all the medical expenses.
😁
Since he's you're dog, then here's the vet bill.
I'm sure these owners would all run.

The rescue didn't have funds for his medical care, but had funds for a lawyer. So glad he is back with his family❣

[dellalyn]

Screw the couple that said he was theirs...they obviously didn't care enough to have him chipped...wanting that money.

[tinat]

Nah that dog don’t belong to those people…..screw em all! His funds stay with him and his rescuer.❤ bless you folks for helping him

The dog has been on the loose for years. You'd think they would have found him by now, just by driving around and calling his name, if they really are his owners. And they must not have spent any time with him. When I was young, we didn't get our animals fixed. This was before things like the Humane Society. But I could take my three large male dogs for walks in the woods and control them with my voice only. Because I spent time with them, I loved them, and they listened to me because of it. My experience says it ain't their dog.

These people don't deserve the dog if anything they should get fined.

[enitahofstrom]

This dog doesn't look like the dog they lost....not certain if they are not pulling a scam.

[arnereykowski]

That is easy: If they really think it is their dog, make them cough up the $14K for medical treatment - I don't think so

[randalllundgren]

Pardon any typos. Yeah so if it is their dog they'll take the dog they get no money from the GoFundMe the money gets returned to GoFundMe to the people that donated. You still want the dog without the money and you can get his surgeries done then go for it but the GoFundMe should not be attached to this dog. Only the people who rescued him get the dog and money to care for him. The people claiming him should also have to pay The Rescuers all the money they spent tracking him and catching him and total expenses which I imagine is pretty high. Again I asked do they still want the dog
