I don't fault the shelter for taking the dog back and/or not allowing an exception; afterall, if they made an exception in this case, they'd have to allow one for all who apply.

In all of this, I feel most sorry for Iggy.
Absolutely agree 100%. Ellen did not read the contract. I'm sure she'll be more careful the next time she has a contract placed in front of her. I applaud the rescue group for not backing down. I think we are all sick of seeing celebrities getting special treatment. Personally, I couldn't help but think that Ellen deserved an Emmy for her performance. Don't get me wrong. I occasionally watch her show and think she is very funny. I just smell something fishy with this whole thing. To melt down in front of millions of people over something like this just doesn't add up. I am sure Iggy will have no trouble finding a new home. The publicity has been good for him too. People will probably be lined up for a chance to adopt him. Let's hope the next family reads the contract.
