Saga        The saga continues and Peanut, keep a low profile and victory shall be yours.  I think you may give the woman too much credit to know of YT unless she knows you are part of the forum.     
To steal the pup would be wrong and illegal; you would probably be the first person they would look to regarding her disappearance.  To report on her condition to animal welfare, a "given" if that poor pup is left outside again.   
Ever invest in a pair of binoculars?  I am not making light of this pup's life, but want her to end up in a good home and not dumped somewhere.   
So, Peanut has to be careful to remain in the background until the woman relents and gives up the dog.  Remember you get more with sugar than vinegar.   
Good luck, Peanut.        |
