I really have no sympathy for her at all.

RIP Lucy. You deserved better than what you were dealt.

I could not agree more! I hope this continues to haunt her for many years to come.

I do hope that article gives people a better understanding that when they surrender their animal to a kill shelter that the animal can die at ANY time. There are no set rules.

What planet does that woman live on? She takes her dog to a kill shelter and is shocked that it was killed? Oh - and blame the kill shelter for killing the dog that she took there, because she didn't want it. Poor dog. Crazy lady.

Amazing isn't it?

If the owner leaves a dog with severe SA at the shelter, the KINDEST thing they can do is to immediately euthanize the dog. It would very, very cruel to stick the dog in a cage (dogs with severe SA often have fear of enclosed spaces) for awhile and THEN euth the dog.

Shame on the owner. Sounds like she was given several options, but chose the easy way out.

Stories like this just amaze me. My dog isn't perfect, I choose not to deal with it so I'm going to pass it on to someone else.

I'm glad that lady is suffering from guilt. She deserves it.

I agree that it is far better to euthanize the dog than to put it in a cage next to other barking dogs, to be bewildered and frightened if they are only going to put the dog down in the end. And why waste resources on a dog that is not adoptable? It is very, very sad for the dog. The problems the dog had were not so bad that someone could not have come up with a solution. But a shelter NEEDS to put their money into helping dogs that have the best shot at getting out.

I really do not feel sorry for the woman. She made a stupid decision that cost the dog its life. I think she was aware. Sometimes when we change our minds, things work out, sometimes they don't. The loser here is the pup. Another present gone wrong.
