    Woman gives up convertible Mustang in exchange for lost dog

    How much is your pet worth to you? A San Antonio woman was willing to give up her convertible sports car to get her bulldog back and she did just that. No questions asked. Andrew Mcintosh has the story.
    PORK CHOP CAME HOME.

    "We've got permanent smiles now, we're just ecstatic that he's home."

    AFTER A TEARFUL WEEK... LATASHA ARMENDARIZ AND HER KIDS HAVE THEIR MISSING
    FAMILY MEMBER BACK.

    LAST THURSDAY PORK CHOP.. A TWO YEAR OLD ENGLISH BULLDOG... DISAPPEARED FROM
    LATASHA'S FRONT YARD.

    "It was hard. It was the worst feeling ever."

    SHE IMMEDIATELY PUT OUT A 500 DOLLAR CASH REWARD... BUT HAD NO LUCK.

    SO SHE SWITCHED GEARS... AND OFFERED UP ONE OF HER MOST PRIZED POSSESSIONS.

    THIS CUSTOMIZED 19-96 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE.. SHE'S SPENT THOUSANDS OF
    DOLLARS ON... AND JUST FINISHED PAYING OFF.



    "I love my car, my mustang was my life's work.

    BUT SHE WAS WILLING TO PART WAYS WITH IT.... BECAUSE IN HER EYES... PORKCHOP
    IS MORE IMPORTANT.

    "I just want to instill the value in my children that family is the most
    important thing beyond any material item."

    WEDNESDAY NIGHT, LATASHA GOT A CALL FROM A MAN WHO SAID HE FOUND THE DOG NEAR
    HER HOUSE.

    HE CAME OVER AND SURE ENOUGH... HE HAD PORK-CHOP

    THE MAN DIDN'T EVEN TELL LATASHA HIS NAME... BUT SHE KEPT HER PROMISE.

    "I saw Porkchop and here are the keys! I didn't even look back! He right right
    inside to the kids, and we all jumped on him."

    NOW CARELESS... LATASHA GETS RIDES FROM HER MOM, USES HER FATHER-IN-LAW'S TRUCK
    WHEN SHE CAN... AND TAKES THE BUS...

    "With a smile, you know."

    ATASHA SAYS SHE'LL GET ANOTHER MUSTANG EVENTUALLY, BUT TRADING HER DREAM CAR
    FOR PORKCHOP WAS AN EASY DECISION.

    "To have my family back again, priceless."

    STUPID!!!!! :rolleyes:

    OK, she's stupid. But who in the hell actually takes someone up on that offer? That guy's a dick.

    what a crappy thing to do by the guy. Give her her dog back and just be happy you helped someone out.

    So, if you want to get a Mustang, you just need to steal a dog ? That's good to know !

    (by the way, what kind of a name is this ? Pork Chop ? Why not Ham Sandwich ? Or Mash Potatoes ?)

    Let's not all jump to conclusion without knowing the full story. Maybe the guy was from Cleveland.

    I gave up hope on humanity long ago
    And wonder why I'm still here at times

    So what she did she instill in her kids, that dogs=convertibles? You can't even make that theme equal family values in an ABC afternoon sitcom.
    I'm sure her mom and father in law are in love with that decision, and are also supporting her with a smile on THEIR face.

    I can't blame the guy. The exchange is fair and square. The lady was willing to buy an item for a set price, and the guy sold it at that price. It's perfectly American.

    Of course, why the lady raised the prize for porkchop from $500 immediately to a custom Mustang is beyond me.... But if the dog is worth that much to her, who am I to judge?
