Daniel's reasoning for adopting this dog was his want, and furthermore, delusion, for "security", repeatedly claiming Music to be a "guard dog", when, in reality, Zola was a regular house pet with no such capabilities. | ||
Daniel's announcement of the adoption sparked intense outrage in the [[R/Daniellarson|subreddit dedicated to him, /r/Daniellarson]] and other communities, along with sparking controversy as to if it was justified to take a homeless man’s dog, and questions regarding its legality. | |||

Many users demanded the dog to be returned to the shelter due to factors such as Daniel's inability to financially support himself, a lack of a constant food source or shelter, his mental illnesses, and the general negligence he continues to exhibit. It was a reasonable fear, as Daniel cannot take care of himself, let alone an animal. Additionally, people feared that [[December 10th Incident|Daniel's violent tendencies]] towards people and property made Music a potential target in Daniel's next [[Meltdowns|meltdown,]] and could result in Daniel hurting the dog in a fit of rage, like he’s done to many others (namely, [[Bob Proctor]]). | Many users demanded the dog to be returned to the shelter due to factors such as Daniel's inability to financially support himself, a lack of a constant food source or shelter, his mental illnesses, and the general negligence he continues to exhibit.

Not long after Daniel adopted <s>Zola</s> Music, many rescue missions were carried out by people such as [[Ox]], however the most notable one was carried out in a Discord server ran by YouTuber Goated Mines, and many other members of the /r/Daniellarson subreddit, such as Flexburger.

Many weeks before the adoption occurred, Daniel stated that he wanted to adopt a dog.
