INDEPENDENCE, Mo. -- The interest in the story over Shuma the service dog continues to be overwhelming.
Last Thursday, KCTV5 News told you about a hurricane evacuee from Mississippi who wants his dog back.
After fleeing the storm, John Wyrick gave his dog to Lynn Nevills of Independence, because his temporary housing arrangement would not allow pets.
Wyrick said he made a mistake and wants Shuma the German Shepherd back, but Nevills refuses.
Several KCTV5 viewers have offered her money, as much as one thousand dollars if she will just return the dog.
But, Shuma is still in Independence with Nevills.
We continue to hear from viewers like "Valerie" who wants us to stay on top of this story. "Valerie" emailed us on Sunday and asked us to "please... keep it in the news."
Visit http://www.kcm.com/shuma for Lynn Nevills contact information so you can ask her to return Shuma to her rightful owner.
A forum for Shuma has also been established here: http://indepmo.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=12
There are some real lowlife scumbags out there....
Saw this woman on th e news. For awhile I thought this was some kind of setup, like they were playing a joke on the news together.
But the woman is just plain evil. It would be fun to see what kind of community pressure can come down on her.
People like that enjoy their day in the sun. They suconsciously think they are evil and act it out. This publicity just feeds it.
For your own free instant analysis you may contact my office at BR 547.
I hope the pressure is put on her, but good!
Isn't there some ambulance chaser in MO who will put an end to this hag's fraud? Haul her big ass into court and make her pay through the nose.
Sent this story to my "local" CBS affiliate, since KCTV is a CBS station. Sioux Falls is close enough to KC to maybe give it some interest. Maybe some wider exposure will help.
