I am not talking about that kind of thing. After a bad thunderstorm I saw a golden retriever staggering in traffic in a 4 lane highway. She was obviously in distress. Traffic was not stopping for her. I pulled over and ran out in a break in traffic and picked her up and got out of the road before a semi got us both. I took her home and called her owner after I got the number from the dog warden when I gave him the tag number. It turned out the owner was someone I knew. He said the storm had knocked out their electric fence and she was so scared she ran away. She was a long way from home where I found her. We were both glad I had gotten to her when I did. She was a great dog. I would never refuse to give a dog back unless there were signs of abuse.

>>She also learned that the dog she calls "Judd" spent nights in a doghouse or garage, was not house-trained and was sometimes hooked to a cable in the back yard. <<

Hardly abuse.

>>Parnham said she believes pets should have "full house privileges," and that she would not "give in, back down or give up the dog." <<

So, according to this nosy do-good biddy, ALL dogs that live outside in a dog house should be "rescued."

Give the dog back.
