Stealing a Noodle

The plaintiff says her cousin, the defendant, stole her dog, so she’s suing. The defendant claims their aunt originally owned the dog and gave the pup to him when she could no longer care for him. Besides, the defendant argues that the plaintiff doesn’t have the necessary space to take care of a dog.

True his attitude is so bad and his g/f now knows it. Most importantly regarding Noodle, the verdict was correct because the dog has been in a good home for 7 months. It's not good to keep shuffling a dog to multiple new homes.

To me, NOOOO, you don't get rid of the dog that you had for six years and is being attacked by the new dog, you return the new dog and respect that it was there first. That is what the judge should have asked, "You mean to tell me, you had Noodle for six years, you got rid of Noodles because a new dog was attacking him?"

[@sashabenoit1518]

​@@angelanelson2275 How can you be so sure of that?? If that couple live together, which it sounds to me like they do, from the defendant bragging about how he makes so much more money to give the dog a better home and the fact that the Aunt signed the dog over to him on their notorized agreement but the dog is legally registered in the girlfriend's name. And if his behavior and treatment of his cousin, the Plaintiff, is any sort of representation of how he really is as a person and the girlfriend accepts that behavior by staying with him... In my opinion, they are too immature, selfish, and cruel and are probably not the best pet owners. Just like the Judge said, the amount of money you make is completely irrelevant and doesn't determine how you care and provide for your animal. That couple are just nasty people and it shows. To treat your family member like that, create all of this drama between your family and, even worse, to find it amusing and was seemingly enjoying the Plaintiff's desperation and heartbreak... Truly awful. I just pray that they do actually give that dog a good home but my hopes aren't too high for that, unfortunately.

I agree that the plaintiff really cares about and loves Noodle, but I don’t think the dog is actually loved by the male defendant (“Toph”). Maybe the girlfriend loves Noodle, but that guy isn’t capable of truly loving a pet (and probably not a person either). He sees that dog as a prize, something that proves he is the “winner” in the competition between he and his cousin. I wouldn’t trust him to even pet sit a dog.

[@dbabies82]

Nah, you sound just as demented as the defendants. I have a feeling you are just as psychotic or... you're just part of that family. There's a reason why 99% of the comments were sympathetic towards her and think the rest did her dirty. She did want the best for the dog, hence her keeping the dog in a place that had more room. Times are tough, and she was in a rough spot in her life. That doesn't mean it was OK for her family to give away her dog. They won because all paperwork and the such were in her aunt's name, when she should have did everything herself (bought the food, went to the vet, etc) to show she owned the dog. Her trust in her family screwed her over. But even the judge understood, how evil the defendants were (which adds to how ignorant your thought process is, if you agree with that side). @@samgardner4667

[@brittanymark9213]

She loves him so much that instead of taking Noodle, she left him in her grandmothers house for a year to be locked in a room so he didn’t get beat up by the other dog in the house. She may have loved the dog, but the fact that she left him in that condition for the last year was willing to leave him in that condition for god knows how much longer and is only now announcing that she can take him home AFTER someone else rescues him from the people she claims can’t take care of him (Aunt and grandmother).

Granny is cold hearted. Picked up on it immediately.

[@shanamitchell9326]

Nanny going off 😂

[@kmurray559]

Grandma is raggedy too. Why didn’t her marine grandson buy her some clothes

[@CassandraMata-du7xq]

I am so disgusted. What a horrible man, and the girlfriend kept smiling at him while the judge read that message out loud bc she was fulllyyyy aware that he said those things probably encouraged it. The nanny was nasty as well, must be where he gets it from. I don’t blame her for cutting them out of her life. I hope he NEVER gets a badge.

[@dukeyoungsworkout513]

She gotta pull herself together. I can only imagine how emotional she'll get over a breakup

[@stumack9755]

shes a mess.

[@Barbiecakezz]

I’m saying !!!

[@KateMich12]

Sure but she feels betrayed by her whole family. Thats pretty emotional.

[@mariatorres9789]

She's crazy & shouldn't have animals or children to care for, until she gets counciling & gets her head together.

[@designsonyouinparis]

Totally disagree! No thumbs up! Sometimes Marilyn you have to rule with your heart! ❤ I am a proud Cuban dog lover! I still have never forgiven my Mother for giving up my precious Negrita and that was almost 60 years ago! ❤

[@Arrozconhabichuelas]

No one cry’s for the poor dog that gets stuck inside a room ?

[@jenn_x.]

The gf did, which is why she swooped him up right away and gave him a better life. The plaintiff lost me when all she seemed to care about was what they'd done to HER, and was suing for $1000. If it really were all about the dog, she should have been happy he had a loving home, and made friends with the gf to go visit him.

[@Arrozconhabichuelas]

@@jenn_x. 🤦🏼‍♂️yess but this dumm people in the comments & the judge never mentioned that only talking about him ? The case was not about him was straight about the dog being in her grandmother house & they taking care of it

[@jenn_x.]

@@Arrozconhabichuelas he looks like an adorable doggo, too - smiling for pics and everything! 😄 But yeah - I even saw a comment where someone suggested the plaintiff go steal the dog from its new home. And do what? Lock it up in a single room with two adults, a child, and several caged pets? Ugh!

[@MusicTennis]

True but that was at the previous home because the clueless aunt/granny failed to socialize Noodle with the other dog. The girlfriend gave him a great new home for 7 months. Stop shuffling the dog around now that he's stabilized. Good verdict. Note: An easy 10 minute segment of The Dog Whisperer would have taught them how to socialize dogs.

[@jenn_x.]

@@MusicTennis it was also noted that the plaintiff, her partner, and their child lived in a room with various caged pets. That's to what I was referring. It would probably be best for the plaintiff - imo - to get better established before adding another animal to the mix. And agreed! Doggo is happy and well-loved; leave him be.

[@fulfigchic]

Wait so the letter stating that she was the actual owner from the Aunt meant nothing?? This case didn't make a lot of sense to me. What was the point of shedding light on the dates of the letters and the lying?

[@anthonyslazas6413]

I hope no one hires him to be a LEO!

[@Couturah647]

“A tarantula for God’s sake” 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭

[@tommyjones6866]

Plaintiff being wayyyy too dramatic over a dog that was never even hers. If she cared so much about the dog she would have gotten her living situation figured out and brought the dog to her home the first time Aunt said she could have him.

[@jennifer_mertens]

I love that Doug added, "That's not like a Marine". Touche Doug, touche.

[@jinglejazz7537]

I could never give up a pet I've had for years. Only if I couldn't care for it anymore, would I find that acceptable to find another good home. I adopted older pets. I can't tell you how many times I find a 10 year old cat or old, given up for 'allergies', or moving.

[@mahailiabrown3972]

She never really cared for the dog she visited the dog all the time yes but care for the dog not really because the dog lives with the grandma and she didn't have a home for her her child or the dog so how was she going to take care of that animal even when she had the paperwork like she said she could have put it in the other grandma's house but in the very beginning she stated that she did not want to bring it to that other grandma's house because there was too much things going on between her and Grandma so how are you going to bring it to the other grandma if like none of it makes sense cuz in the beginning we have a great relationship me and my aunt we're all clothes yada yada yada and then all of a sudden it's oh she's manipulative she's emotional she's this she's that I can't have a really close relationship if the person is a narcissist is really no such thing as a close relationship there's also no way that she could take care of a child and a dog and not have a home unless that dog was a service dog or a support dog then she could not bring it to a shelter if she had to go to get herself a home like yes he is a a-hole we all understand that but where was that dog going to be at if she doesn't have a house including when like I keep on stating that type of breed of dog cannot stay in one room all the time and that's exactly what that dog was doing that dog was not getting the love or attention or space that that dog really need it and now that he is look at the dog now he is smiling ear-to-ear he is happy he is great and if they was really close and relationship it didn't matter where that dog was at because as long as they had a good relationship she would have still been able to visit the dog but apparently they never had a good relationship which means that they both lied in the beginning talking about they had a okay or good enough relationship cuz if that was the case you could visit the dog at all times including when you don't have a home

[@Chiriberry617]

Lmaooooo judge Milan said girl it’s to early for the tears 😂😂😂😂 and Kirk shiesty ssa with that intro 😂😂😂😂

[@Marcie1988]

At the end of the day all I care about is the dog and it's wellbeing. She lives in a trailer with multiple cats and other animals and a baby... Id rather the dog end up with someone who has the space and backyard for it to run around. It's a Greyhound dog! They love to run. I didn't believe it should have gone to her either.

[@MonroesArtStudio]

That lady deserves so much better than that family. You can tell the whole family gave him the dog just to spite her. They came off so damn nasty in the end. You can tell the judge didn't like having to make that ruling at all.

[@shesuniqueinherownwaybenja7647]

The grandmother’s true colors sure was shown after that speaks volumes. And that’s why the Grandson speaks in that manner looking down on ppl the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree 🤦🏾‍♀️ I hope this was an eye opener for the girlfriend 😳

[@dragames]

I bet it was, she looked so embarrassed when it was being read off and at the end, she's wanting to distance herself from them.

[@nocomment4642]

That was a very hollow win. They should have asked the family member if she still wanted the dog.If the girlfriend had any conscience at all she would give the dog to the family member.Seven months is not long .He could settle in with the niece. It seems the girlfriend is as nasty as the cousin she is dating.They deserve one another.The aunt and granny were at fault.Sad tale.

[@Dein104]

I want to say girl run and never look back but she seems like a mature forgiving person so she may forgive them. Bless her heart

[@LadyyGanjaa]

Why do I feel like the girlfriend was laughing because she was there looking over the defendants shoulder as he wrote those txts!!!!

[@LanaJ7]

The defendants girlfriend is so high on Coke , and the way she was smirking at the end is disgusting.

[@modernretroradio993]

...and she's in a relationship with a guy who's going to become a cop. What does that tell you about law enforcement?

[@3vrodriguez]

Ugh, this one was heartbreaking 💔 Hope the dog is really in a better situation

[@Carlos-ll7bz]

I hope the girlfriend uses that info about her boyfriend wisely that was a horrible thing I have ever seen

[@SamanthaKaye2000]

i always love seeing how interesting and unique these people on the show look… probably my fav part of the show it’s very entertaining

[@HerrWeberMFT]

You can't choose your relatives but you can choose your family. Hopefully, they can get some family counseling and resolve their conflict, but you always have to be prepared to let some people go from your life.

[@BobBlumenfeld]

Well put. I like the distinction between relatives and family.

[@lone.faerie]

I couldn't agree more. Family is those who are there for you, not those who are related to you

[@citytrees1752]

Those defendants will never agree to go to counseling. They will go out for lunch together and bad mouth the plaintiff now.

[@enniruth]

give that plaintiff her fknn dog back, judge fumbled as per usual

[@theburntoutlighter1084]

EHS... I hope Noodle is doing well. 😔 Such a sad crappy case. Glad the Judge read his words outloud.. this is so depressing.

[@christophermartin972]

Doug "You came across like a slimeball" hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha cold blooded

[@ashley4598]

The grandma was going off at the end..they are nasty people. But if she does live in one room with her son and boyfriend she don’t really need the dog 🤷‍♀️

[@mrsgaines2231]

The cousin is the male version of the nanny. Absolutely NASTY!! If he becomes a cop lord help anybody that is in his path.

[@GirlsNDragons]

Dude speaks about himself in the third person. Hes psychotic. “Toph gets what tophs wants” He’s going to end up in prison for hurting that girlfriend someday.

[@modernretroradio993]

... he's going to hide behind his badge while committing his crimes.

[@lukerinderknecht2982]

I'm eating Noodles watching this 😅

[@leggs4113]

The cousins a jerk! I feel bad for her but she had a year to pick him up.

[@gt43025]

Doug is hilarious, Called him a “slimeball” 🤣
