Liar liar- PANTS ON FIRE!

I happened upon a post on craigslist, stating that a dog was found in my area matching Balboa's description. So My co-worker emailed the man for me and we told him what the dog looked like. A 7 mo. old black lap/pit mix, big ears, white patch on his chest and a white patch on his back paw. The man said "that's exactly what he looks like, I HAVE YOUR DOG!" My heart jumped with joy. I was off work in a 1/2 hr and could get my dog. LIES LIES LIES!! I showed up at this mans house- NOT a patch of white on this 2 yr old black lab... the only thing that was the same was that he had a blue collar. I asked the man if he was joking and he simply stated "No, he fits the description perfectly" Oh really?? what part of 7 mo old PUPPY and WHITE PATCH do you not understand sir?? Needless to say it was not my Balboa. Luckily I had just purchased another dog the night before. A cute 5 mo old pitbull... by the name of GUCCI. Nya named him- first she wanted to name him "Princess" but, I had to explain to her that we couldnt name a boy dog princess.. So, I gave her some options, King, Gucci, Max (as his previous owners had named him, (but I didnt want max for that is my nephews name) She picked Gucci.. and oh so sadly stated.. " But, wheres is baloa (she cant say Balboa for some reason) I told her he ran away..She replied back "oh but, I just loved him so much." I thought she was gonna cry.. and I laughed. WOOPS. but, now she is just as "in love" with Gucci-- he spent the whole entire next day running from her while I watched her. Him scared of her..lol.
