She would regularly enter the home of her client on days she was not scheduled to watch the dog and would take the dog to the park. One afternoon, the dog she loved wandered into her yard as she was doing yard work. She did not immediately call her client, but instead decided to keep the dog for a few days.

Answer:

b. No, because she was only going to keep the dog for a few days.

Explanation:

An action is said to be a larceny when an individual trespasses and keeps a belonging of another person with the sole intent of not returning it back.

In the example above the dog sitter had the intention of returning the dog after spending some time with it. She eventually returned it after a few days.
