WHEN a neighbour's friendly chocolate brown labrador wandered into the yard, Daniel Myers decided he would claim it as his own.
By coincidence, Myers was moving out of his rented house that day, and he took the dog with him.
Several days later the worried owner was shown photographs posted on a social media site and recognised her missing dog.
Police were contacted and when officers went to Myers' new house the labrador was found there too, an Ipswich court heard this week.
Going before Ipswich Magistrates Court for sentence Daniel John Myers, 32, of Raceview, pleaded guilty to stealing the labrador at Redbank Plains between January 8 and January 21.
