The more I think about this , the madder I get. What Ellen has done by getting the media involved, did not help the family get the dog back, it has ruined the woman, her rescue, hurt all rescues in general (due to the many, many people who now say they will never save a rescue dog now because of this), ruined the woman's business. Because of Ellen this woman does not feel safe in her home and is receiving death threats.
If Ellen would of went to the agency before giving the dog to the family all of this would of turned out differently, the family would of had a better chance of getting the dog, the heartbreak and all of this would of been prevented.
I'm sorry but after what Ellen did by getting the media involved causing all this to happen when it could of been dealt with privately, I do not blame the rescue lady for not giving the family the dog after it all ruined her life and hurt the rescue when all she did was follow thru the rescue's policies. I am not one for suing but I would be getting myself a very good lawyer to sue for whatever damages, compensation or for what ever I could.
I'm sure poor Ellen slept well in her mansion.
