I had a dog once on my porch. What I think happens is that it’s owner wasn’t too careful and the dog got loose. Dogs aren’t too bright and if they wander too far from home (in other words- got lost) they decide that your house is their’s. So they follow you and won’t leave. In other words they think you are it’s owner. I could have kept the dog, it’s even better than buying one because it’s already loyal to you. I couldn’t because I would be the talk of the neighboorhood, because very few frum Jews own dogs. Also, if you decide to keep it, maybe one day the owner will sober up and come looking for his dog. If he finds it, you will have to give it up and this will be very hard to do after you have grown close to it. So what did I do? I called animal control and they took it to the pound!
