Little boy kidnaps neighbor's dog for "petting zoo" business scheme: "Better than a lemonade stand!"

Florida - A young boy surprised this pet owner with an ingenious business idea – he organized a "petting zoo" with his neighbor's dog. One problem, though... he forgot to tell him first!

Monte set off in search of his dog Dorka, who had seemingly gone missing, as a viral video shows.

The man drove through the streets of his neighborhood in search of the pup, and actually spotted his dog!

From his car, he saw a kind of stall set up on the side of the road, with a small enclosure next to it in which Dorka stood panting.

When Monte approached the boy who owned the stall, the beaming kiddo asked for a dollar for his self-made petting zoo, after which the four-legged friend was allowed to be pet by his owner – for a small fee, of course.

However, the "kidnapping" was only half as bad, as Monte told Newsweek that the dog thief was actually Monte's nephew.

Instagram users think young dog-napper is a business prodigy

Commenters were sure that the brazen little boy had a bright future ahead of him with such ingenious business acumen!

"i believe that kid and your dog have business agreement," laughed one user as another said, "The dog was like: Don't worry dad when I finish my shift I go home."

"Better than a lemonade stand," offered a third.
