Taking in a stray isn't petit
Taking in a stray isn't petit larceny unless she refused to give the dog back after being reimbursed for food and care. Is there no leash law in Badoggia?

Sounds like a trumped up charge to me, unless this woman had tried to steal this dog before or... Wasnt very smart and told everyone she wanted that particular dog.
