So sorry to say this is not a so happy ending for Shuma.
We are family who loves canine companions and depend on the love and company of canines on those home bound days and not so home bound days.
For this new owner not to have the compassion to give SHuma back to the disabled owner who's only crime is he was temporarily homeless due to Katrina.
If this new owner shows such a lack of compassion to NOT return Shuma to the Man who trained and has bonded in a way "non disabled society" just doesn't get it says volumes about her potential commitment to Shuma if her life should ever turn upside down.
What a Witch! Oh and I am being online nice in calling her a witch.
My only point was that the dog is alive and well, which makes Shuma lucker than many in this tragedy.
This story is primarily a human grief issue, not a dog suffering issue, was all I was saying, and that many dogs RIGHT NOW are facing the actual suffering of NO ONE wanting them, let alone two people fighting over them.
I agree with you 100%. I think the police should just go get the dog and return it to its rightful owner.
