What do you think of this Ellen Dog Crying Video?

Question

Answer 1

She was obviously distraught. Animals are a soft spot for me, too, so I probably would have been the same (but maybe not on national TV).

The rescue group has a right to check on the dog but was wrong to take the dog unless it was being abused or the home was unsafe. Why not leave well enough alone and make them sign a new contract?

Jeez.

Answer 2

A contract is a contract. Being famous does not change the rules. In fact, one should try and strive to be a role model in these matters. Famous people have been into enough trouble with toy dogs etc. The rescue did the right thing, and Ellen, using the media (her show), did the wrong thing. She probably ruined a very responsible rescue in the process. She should have dealt with this matter on her own private time.... and I just lost all respect for her, and her show

Answer 3

I think that it is a very sad situation. The agency should have met with the family to see how the girls interacted with the dog. I am sure that Ellen would not have placed the dog with them if they were going to hurt the dog. The agency is probably going to put the dog up for adoption again and charge another adoption fee. Ellen was honest with them.........there are many adopted pets that end up in other homes after the same type of contract was signed.

There are children that are well behaved and gentle with smaller pets. The adoption agency should reconsider this family

Answer 4

I lost respect for her especially after hearing different stories about who signed for the dog and how long it was actually with her. Brussels Griffon are very small and 11 year olds can leave doors open say, for example, so the pup could run out somewhere. I think those rules in the contract have been well thought out. If people stop obeying contracts, we are doomed. They are there to prevent Michael Vicks of the world and other uneducated persons from taking in pets.

Answer 5

I think it's very sad that this so called rescue agency (Mutts and Moms) took the dog back. Shame on them. Ellen is obviously very upset that she messed up and didn't check with them before giving the dog away. Even if she had contacted them it would not have mattered. The agencys adoption policy states that families with children under 14 are not allowed to adopt. How ridiculous!!!!

Answer 6

This is a joke!! I thought these agencies would do what is the best interest of the dog... Clearly it's not what they do. Are those cages they keep the animals are better than a home? Maybe they should spend some time in a cage like that instead of going home... Stupid, stupid people, I'm so angry at them!!!!! Put them in jail and let them rot in there!!!

Answer 7

what about it? i think ellen may have gotten caught up in the moment but, it's a damn shame what happened with the dog. mutts and moms is being absolutely ridiculous about all of this. they could have simply investigated the family to make sure they were okay and let the pup stay. there was no reason to do what they did. they made a much bigger deal of this than was necessary.

Answer 8

Well, I think that she really wanted that family to have that dog, and that she is EXCTREMELY sorry for taking the dog away.

Answer 9

i think she really loves that dog and really loved that family...normaly i would say get over it!but i love dogs and feel really sorry for her!IM SO SORRY THAT HAPPEND TO HER!

Answer 10

I think she went a little overboard.
