Ellen and the doggy drama

Just a warning, this will be a rant.

These rescue people need to get off their high horse and get a clue. Seriously. To come in and take away a little girl's dog is just horrible. There's no reason why that dog needed to be snatched away from a perfectly good home. I thought the rescue was supposed to find good homes for dogs, not take dogs away from them. And now they're saying they won't let the family have the dog back because the kids are under age 14. Come on! The girls are 11 and 12 years old! First of all, it's a dumb rule, and second of all, can they see outside the box at all??

All these dog people on the internet are saying "the rescue was right" and "you can't just dispose of a dog when you don't want it." Get real! It's a D-O-G and it wasn't given away willy nilly. Ellen tried her best with the puppy, and when she realized it wasn't going to work out, she found an excellent home for it with PEOPLE SHE KNEW. Would they rather her just keep him locked in a cage all day or out in the yard alone all day maybe?

Evidently the rescue people are all knowing and they're the only ones who could possibly be able to find a good home for a dog. Please. These rescue places are all on power trips and need to get over it. Just this one stupid policy has turned a whole lot of people off to rescues, I can guarantee you that. Mutts & Moms has driven a bunch of people straight to the pet stores (puppy mills), and I hope they're happy. At least they enforced their policy. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

No kidding, how is it even any of their business if Ellen finds her puppy a new home? It's not like she would give her dog to someone she didn't expect would take care of it! Some rescue...they should spend more time on Michael Vicks (and even that I think they could just stay out of).
