Ellen's Dog

[Snowflake]

Well, this is I think going too far. I understand Ellen did not read the contract (I probably would have in this case), but I also do not see that she did something so wrong that the dog needs to be repossesed. After all, kids N dogs, they go together like peanut butter & jelly and the fact that a sheriff came to get the dog, how traumatic for the kids. Sad all the way around, and sad for the dog, who was probably having the time of his life with all the attention.

I looked into getting a buddy for Tango when I moved back (lease prevents me) but still, in my investigations, even the SPCA was incredibly demanding with requirements for an adoptee parent. Sheesh, I could probably get an apartment easier. Like other LoTizens, Tango eats better than me most nights, she gets whatever she wants or needs and has her own bag of Trader Joe's shrimp in the freezer, with her name on it.

It's sad, I'm sorry the shelter people are getting threats, but I agree with Alex, I think in this case, the rules should be bent in favor of the dog and the family that grew to love him.
