The dog was flat out the Gormont's property, that rescue worker is a nut and a thief.
I can sympathize when an animal is abused, that is a case for rescue. (there are laws in most counties). BUt this dog clearly was not being abused.
She stole that dog, and she was clearly being a vindictive bitch (pun intended) in deciding what was "right"care in her mind, not what the owners think.
Well, as I said, the home needed to be checked out. The dog had to be checked over by a vet. "He was a mess," she said. Was he? Also, had the owners reported their dog missing? I don't remember that being in the report. One would think that a family who loved their dog would have reported their dog missing.
However, this should have been settled without it having had to go to court. I agree.
