How do ANY of us know the rescue is not looking out for Iggy's best interest? Frankly, if I had been receiving threatening phone calls regarding an animal in my care I would be reluctant to place it back with the people who brought it to the attention of the folks making the threats.

Personally, while it was her right, I think Ellen would have been better off not to mention the name of the rescue. Maybe she didn't realize how vehemently people would react, but this is definitely the sort of thing that would sour someone's attitude towards a prospective adopting family.

How does one spend $3,000 training a four month old puppy anyways?
