I really feel bad for this poor woman! I'd definitely do the same Jody. My heart breaks for her. What a horrible ordeal for her to go through! Yes let's get the word out there.

 This story is horrifying! There is no way that I would give up a dog without a fight.  I would go back in my house and lock the door and tell them they have to take legal action. I would go to the media and any other means available! There was no way that I would handover my dog under these circumstances!

I am so glad I got my dog from a  School the grant full ownership to the handler when they graduate!

I think we have to get the word out and perhaps people will no longer apply to southeastern for a dog. See how they handle the situation when they have no applicants!
