After being informed of who Daniel was, the workers were horrified. Though, even with this information, they still expressed disgust with the way people treated the workers and Longmont Humane Society as a whole. The employee went on to claim that the adoption center now had to deal with several alleged emergency service calls which resulted in first responders showing up due to swatting attempts, or false bomb threats. | After being informed of who Daniel was, the workers were horrified.

There have been issues in the past with people lying about their living circumstances, but with more minor things (like whether their landlord allowed the specific dog breed, or the amount of space in the home) and the result was only that the dog was eventually returned when the adoptee belatedly realized that you can't accommodate a hundred-pound dog in a studio apartment.

Additionally, if it turns out that a "stray" brought to the shelter is owned and doesn't show any physiological signs of mistreatment or neglect, the animal must be returned to the owner after the recovery fee is paid. That unfortunately includes cases where the owner is homeless, living in their car, senile, etc. Remember that in the United States, companion animals are chattel. An animal doesn't legally belong to the shelter until they've been living there for a certain amount of time. When an animal finishes that wait period, they become "emancipated" and are then in the shelter's custody. | Additionally, if it turns out that a "stray" brought to the shelter is owned and doesn't show any physiological signs of mistreatment or neglect, the animal must be returned to the owner after the recovery fee is paid.

The adoption fee was likely around $100, which Daniel was easily able to afford due to his then-active [[Cameo Arc|Cameo]] account. Although the shelter did not allow homeless individuals to adopt, Daniel lied on his application by claiming he lived in an RV, which allowed him to adopt Music. Initially, did not post about Music at all, only having her posted when a fan named Keith, who was in the area, took a [[Lost Media|now-lost]] video of her.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1dzc0nk/1_year_ago_today/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button</ref> | The adoption fee was likely around $100, which Daniel was easily able to afford due to his then-active [[Cameo Arc|Cameo]] account.

While the video was still up, Daniel was seated at a Jimmy John's, where Keith is seen discussing with Daniel about his new "guard dog" while taunting [[World of T-Shirts|Joshua Block]]. Following this interaction, Daniel would start posting videos of Music, most notably one where he coaxed her into looking at camera, only for her to ignore him. This revelation immediately sparked shock in the community when they realized that this was not someone else's dog, but a dog he had adopted himself. | While the video was still up, Daniel was seated at a Jimmy John's, where Keith is seen discussing with Daniel about his new "guard dog" while taunting [[World of T-Shirts|Joshua Block]].

Goated Mines, who would later play an integral part in this arc, would manage to get a hold of Keith, asking him why he had not said anything or shown any concern at all about the dog. Keith had been urged to take Music, even being offered payment, although, Keith never took this deal and shortly after blocked Goated Mines.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/14vgw54/dms_with_dog_video_guy/</ref> <gallery> | Goated Mines, who would later play an integral part in this arc, would manage to get a hold of Keith, asking him why he had not said anything or shown any concern at all about the dog.

Following this, multiple members of the subreddit banded together to return Music back to the Humane Society as they believed Daniel was unfit to take care of a dog due to his previous [[Incidents|outbursts]]. Many members also feared that he would potentially hurt the dog in the event of him having a [[Meltdowns|meltdown]]. | Following this, multiple members of the subreddit banded together to return Music back to the Humane Society as they believed Daniel was unfit to take care of a dog due to his previous [[Incidents|outbursts]].

This sparked immediate calls to retrieve Music and return her to the Longmont Humane Society. Despite the potential legal issues of taking the dog from him, as Daniel had adopted her fraudulently by lying about his living arrangements, this prompted immediate action. Secondly, Daniel was a frequent caller of the Denver police, so the odds of him being taken seriously when calling in were ultimately slim. Third, Daniel has little idea of how the [[Daniel and the Law|legal system]] actually works (and additionally, he has been sent to jail several time), and no matter how many unspecified legal threats he would make, it is most likely that no charges would be pressed. | |||

This call to action reached the ears of many people, most notably one of Daniel's older managers, [[Ox|Ox.]] Even though the opinion of Ivan in the community is largely negative, him posting in the subreddit about his attempts to rescue Daniel's dog lead people to be hopeful that he could maybe redeem himself and return with Music safely. In the time it took Ox to arrive from Wyoming, Goated Mines and many others called Longmont Animal Control and the Longmont Humane Society. While the Humane Society did not answer the phone, presumably due to the amount of harassment they were receiving, Animal Control was made aware of the situation. This would later be confirmed by Ox, who said he had seen Animal Control conducting checks in the Longmont area upon arriving in Colorado. [[File:Longmont Statement 7-10-23.png|thumb|A public statement issued by Longmont Humane Society.|350x350px]]Not long after, Daniel began to post more videos of Music. In these videos, she was in clear distress, looking incredibly hot and anxious, and could be heard whimpering. | This call to action reached the ears of many people, most notably one of Daniel's older managers, [[Ox|Ox.]] Even though the opinion of Ivan in the community is largely negative, him posting in the subreddit about his attempts to rescue Daniel's dog lead people to be hopeful that he could maybe redeem himself and return with Music safely.
