Wow. I just saw the video of Ellen DeGeneres breaking down on her show about her pet adoption. I had read about it, but it really is heart wrenching to see her sobbing. She spoke about a pet adoption that turned bad after she gave her adopted dog, Iggy, to a hairdresser. The dog’s energy level was a bit too much for her existing cats so she found a loving home with her hairdresser and her two daughters. Turns out that’s an oops, since she violated an agreement she signed with the Mutts and Moms Dog Rescue. Under the contract, if she was unable to keep the dog, he should have been returned to the rescue. Wrought with emotion, DeGeneres said, “I thought I did a good thing. I tried to find a loving home for the dog because I couldn’t keep it.” A few days after giving the dog to her hairdresser, a rep from the rescue and the police came and took the dog from the woman and her 11 and 12 year old daughters. Now, I understand the need for a contract, but you also have to agree that Ellen is an animal lover and she truly only had the best interest of the dog in line. She explained, “I feel totally responsible for it, and I’m so sorry. I’m begging them to give that dog back to that family. It’s not their fault. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have given the dog away. Just please give the dog back to those little girls.”
