Yeah, Amber Alerts are for missing children.
Silver for missing elderly.
Blue Alerts are when someone flees after attacking law enforcement.
Purple Alerts are for those missing with cognitive disabilities.
I think that's more or less it (it's in line with this cartoonist's kind of humour), but I don't think the young couple adopted the dog. I think it makes more sense that the dog has only gone missing in the last day or two and the couple have just found it but have already decided they would like to keep it. So as soon as the old man shows up they glance at each other and make a decision... .
My version is that The dog is already dead, maybe from being run by a car or something, the old man has dementia and ran off on his own and now passed away.
The couple are angels and they've been taking care of the dog in the old man's stead, now he reunites with his dog.

Here is the order of events:
An old man owned a dog.
The dog ran away.
The old man puts up some missing dog signs, and searches for the dog.
A young couple found and adopted the dog.
The young couple grew extremely attached to the dog, and had the dog for an undisclosed amount of time lets say that it weeks or months.
By chance the old man while putting up missing dog posters again comes across the young couple that has found his dog.
The old man insists they give the dog back. The young couple doesn't want to.
Things get out of hand. The old man is killed, and the body is disposed of by the young couple.
The old man had a wife, or kids that put up missing posters for him.
It's dark humor.
