I totally understand your feelings in regard to what happened.
I can't even imagine going through and witnessing that. If you
talked to her husband and he said to call her I think maybe you
should. I think she never estimated the love and patience that
is involved with raising a healthy puppy. Try to get to the bottom
of her feelings of why she thinks hitting is going to help the
problems and not make them worse. You will need to be gentle
and understanding in your talk with her and then offer if it is
too much for her to handle to take him but make it seem like
you are trying to help her out because you know she is not a
bad person and that she wants the best for this little guy.
If Teddy so much as wimpers I am there in a split second I
can not imagine raising my hand to hit him or throwing something
at him. Please try and talk to her though because this little
guy needs you and the love you have to offer.
