They agency could have easily handled this differently - and still can - by just saying that they reconsidered their rule and decided to judge the situation on a case by case basis rather then an arbitrary hard and fast rule. They can show off their website which has the dogs there - and then Ellen will give her a bunch of pet toys and pet food and such and sha-dang-dang. The kids get their dog back and everyone is happy.
I heard on the radio this morning that they'd already adopted the dog out to someone else. So maybe that's not even possible anymore.
