“Missing since May 1st: Small black spaniel with white paws. £100 reward for the person
who finds him. Please contact the owner by email.”
B, aged 15, found a dog similar to the dog in the photograph wandering in the
woods. He did not have access to his computer, so he left his phone number with C,
the owner of the shop, asking him to tell A to contact him by phone.
C emailed A, and informed him that B had found the dog. Meanwhile, when B
returned to the place where he had tied up the dog outside the shop, the animal had
disappeared. Two days later, D, a teacher who had taken the dog from outside the
shop, emailed A to inform him that he had found the dog, and that he was looking
after him until A collected him.
Both B and D claimed the reward, and A refused to pay either of them.
