A woman reveals that her landlord, Susan Haas, 64, (pictured) stole her dog because he violated the terms of her lease<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The landlord had help from her sister Sarah Engeseth, 62, (pictured) when they took him from Linnea’s dog sitters house<\/p>\n
The landlords were only required to attend a first offender program.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Susan and Sarah gained possession of the pooch after they showed up at John Isaacson’s workplace, who was dog sitting for Linnea at the time.<\/p>\n
The dog was staying with John because Linnea was aware that Simon wasn’t allowed at her rental property.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
John said the woman showed him an attorney’s letter that claimed they had the authority to bring the dog to a shelter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Susan decided to bring the dog to the local Dane County Humane Society but Simon instead jumped out the back of her SUV and ran off<\/p>\n
He reluctantly complied and handed Simon over, a decision he says he has regretted since.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Susan said she would bring the dog to the local Dane County Humane Society but Simon instead jumped out the back of her SUV and ran off.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Dane County District Attorney’s office charged both Haas and Engelseth with felony party to a theft back in December.<\/p>\n
However\u00a0a month later, Assistant District Attorney Paul Humphrey announced the charges would be reduced to misdemeanors.<\/p>\n
According to The New York Post\u00a0Susan said: ‘I feel the punishment against them is wrong, It went from a felony to a misdemeanor and now it’s probably going to be nothing at all in the end.’<\/p>\n
‘I often wonder where the justice is in this, I will always be the victim.’<\/p>\n
