I don't know but I think it was the smartass way he said "maybe you've heard of a finders fee" more than asking for $20. If the dog had just ran away and they'd have found him near their home, I'd have offered to pay them before they asked. I don't expect anyone to handle my responsibilities or feed my animals. Pretty sure they hadn't.
It could have escalated quickly. I wasn't paying and I wasn't leaving without the dog after he said that.

From the other end of something like that:
About a month ago a dog wandered into my yard at night. It was cold and rainy, and he was just standing there staring at my porch. So I go outside and bring him up on my porch and look for a tag. I couldn't bring him in because my dog is an asshole but I called the police with the tag number. They located the owners from the tag number. It took a long while for the owners to find our house, but they eventually pulled up and I returned their dog to them. Turns out it had been missing for a few days. That's it. End of story.
