Honey,
Just take the dog. Don't concern yourself with your relative's craziness. Take him to a vet and have the vet write out a letter that this dog has been starved and is suffering from malnutrition. You can call the police if you want and report her, but that puppy isn't going to live long enough for you to spend time posting on here and spending sleepless nights.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I just feel so bad for this dog. I understand your position, but this woman is wacko and cannot have a pet. You can't educate her - she's bulimic herself.
Good luck, |
