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."

You rock.
This is going to be interesting.
I for the world of me will never understand how someone can be so cruel.
If it was me I would have given the dog back the minute this man would have asked for it.
I would love to hear of what the family has to say about Shuma's situation.
Same here.
I was going to write Lynn Nevills a letter sharing my story (w/photos) of this storm dog and our service dog. It doesn't seem like this woman has any heart or conscience so i'm thinking anything I add to the fray would be of no help.
..but I have been known to change my mind ;)
You will, you will :)
Got'cha. I will post it on this thread.
I loved it !!! thanks for sharing.
LOL - reminds me of Tex Cobb's character in Raising Arizona, sitting in the father's office, smoking a cig and killing a fly with his fingers!
You might be right.
Someone that has no heart can't be persuaded to do the right thing.
Thanks.:)
I've already checked.
There aren't any "chapters" in the area, if ya get muh drift.....:)
PRONTO bump.
You're still on the wrong side of this issue. The family dog should be returned to the family. Period.
Do you say these moronic things to intentionally bring the flames down on your head or are you really that unable to recognize the love people have for their pets?
There's a Harley factory just up the road. Surely someone in the area fills the role...
That factory makes the Sportsters....I kinda doubt it...;))
Of fer the love a....is that thing back again?
They actually had to wait??? LOL!
