But even though there was no money changing hands, the dog could be determined to have some value, and the creep obviously lied about his intentions. I would think this could constitute a verbal contract.

Remember, the monetary value of the dog was never in question, although the dog may have been "worth" $600, Mr. Macey set the value at $0 when he actively sought to give the dog away for free.

"Free German Shepherd
Pure Bred, Black, nice dog raised with kids cost me $600.00 but hes free to you comes with his Big Crate where he sleeps at night 8 months old come get him please!!!! or hes going to the shelter too much on my plate to deal with right now he needs more attention than we can give him he deserves better."

I would guess one could try to put a value on pain and suffering.... but there is no evidence the dog has been harmed or anything of that nature.

Tough call.
