Ellen vs. Dog

I heard about Ellen's issues with the dog. Here's my take on it.

First - read THIS
The blog pretty much says it all of what I feel.
I feel that it's partly Ellen's fault, and she admits to that for ignoring the contract about placement of the dog. However, I feel it's majority Mutts and Mom's fault because they could have been nice enough to Ellen and "scold" her for not following the contract, and go after the hairdresser's family to do the proper procedures. I know there's some adoption agencies that are really obsessed to where they place their animals. Instead, what did Mutts and Mom do? They took the dog away and give it away to another family...out of spite.
Ellen should have informed Mutts and Mom that her new puppy was not getting along with the cats, however, found a family that's willing to take in the dog and do the proper procedure then. Ellen probably thought that once she signed the adoption papers, that the dog is hers....I would have thought the exact same thing, and if the dog or cat didn't get along with my cats, I would find a home for them, just as if they were mine. Instead, the contract made it sound like, "Even though you have the dog, we still own it." Make sense?

I find it so sad the people are pitting against one or another, and very rarely they think about the puppy.

If Mutts and Mom had just accepted Ellen's little mistake, and then go through the proper procedure with the other family (adoption papers, fees, whatnot), I'll bet you 100% that Ellen will use her fame and talk about Mutts and Mom, and it will make them look good, and some fans would even adopt dogs from them or donate money. Instead, it's the other way around. Fans are protesting against Mutts and Mom dogs, giving them a bad rap...probably for a long time.

Ellen had good intentions, and I firmly believe that she did not use her fame to get away with shit. She's one of the few famous people that is "Normal" human being...she just happens to be on TV. No big deal.

It just really sucks to see how this was turned out. I wonder how the new family feels with the puppy that the puppy was in the middle of this just like the King Solomon story. If people find out who was the new family is, the new family could face issues for a while.

All my cats are adopted (with exception of Baby who was given to me when I was 13...he's the King). I never bought one from a pet store, and I will never do so. If I want a purebred cat, I'm adopting one, no question about that, you'll be surprised how many purebred cats are in shelters. Often shelters do not do a family background check, because they want to get rid of the animals. That's even sad, because sometimes you'll never know if the cat will be taken to a hoarder's home, abusive family home, kids are mean to the cats, or the cat is used for other things besides being a cat if you catch my drift.
