The logical flaw in ‘Stan’ isn’t one. Eminem doesn’t realise the tape was for him until the very last lines of his reply: “And in the car they found a tape/but didn’t say who it was to../Come to think about it/his name was… it was you/Damn…”
He doesn’t refer to the contents of the tape in his reply, either.

Another morally questionable solution is to put a completely unnecessary muzzle on the dog. The threatening muzzled look is probably more effective on a larger dog admittedly, but it could be worth a go.

David should tell his partner and daughter: “I don’t think the dog is working out as it’s taking up a lot of time. I’ve decided to return/sell it to someone else.” They’ll either step up to task or shrug and go back to being thoughtless wretches.
It’s a shih-tsu for pity’s sake – they always land on their feet. No one has ever seen a homeless shih-tsu on the side of the road.
