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.

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.
