H0oneslty.. I donot agree with Ellen giving the puppy away to her friends family without confulting the adoption agancy she got the puppy from.. when you sign a legal document saying that you will forever care for the puppy you have to abide by it. She shouldnt have adopted the puppy if she didnt want it.. Her friends could have just adopted a dog if they wanted one. I'm sure this puppy had been tossed from several homes in its life, ended up at the resuce society, and then just got adopted AGAIN by Ellen, and she even gave it away.. I just dont aggree.. I think that the rescue that the dog came from had EVERY right to take the dog back.
