From Times Wire Reports

A San Jose woman was reunited with her lost dog six days after the golden retriever escaped from her backyard, only to find out she won’t be able to keep her beloved pet.

Niki Karanastasis was devastated to learn that her 2-year-old dog, Bella, had been adopted by a new owner.

Humane Society officials said they are required to put stray dogs up for adoption five days after they are picked up if they don’t have ID tags. Bella didn’t have a tag.

Karanastasis begged the new owner to return the dog. But the woman said the dog was a birthday gift for her daughter and declined an offer of another golden retriever.
