It was so sad to see Ellen crying her eyes out over this... Its absolutely crazy to me that the agency can be so strict about it. And as for children under 14 not allowed around small dogs... My daughter is 5 and is wonderful with Meka! Thats a crazy rule and I see why we have sooo many pups in the world with no homes... With agencies like this, that would rather keep them homeless, than to place them with a loving family
