If the woman really wanted to be married into this household..why didn't she first discuss the household ways and things in it. If she really did have the "Ooohh!! Asthma" why didn't she tell the man and his family before, so they could have seen what could be done. I know divorcing over a matter like this would be too much, but, the woman should have discussed the asthma problem before, so, the man's side could have done something proper or could have declined the proposal. If she doesn't have an asthma problem...why not first look around the man's house? I'm sure she could have seen the dog then! The man was weak too in front of the wife. Islam isn't a religion who allows animals to be treated like dirt! He should have made proper arrangements for the dog. Giving it to responsible owners would have been nice..but, still the dog might not settle happily, because spending a lot of time with a person and suddenly being given away to another person or thrown away in a Sanctuary..that's hard and rough...
Sana-

My comments are not a commentary on Islam, I hope you understand.
My qualms come when someone 'converts' for someone else. He doesn't adhere fully to the religion either, as in fasting (re- a previous episode) and then turns his back on his loyal dog.
The exact situation was/is that the couple bought a house and were moving in together. They were so juvenile and weak they could not even discuss it properly. An ultimatum was given and the woman made up posters for the dog, before the husband agreed to re-home her. (he should re-home the wife instead)
I doubt if a 16 year old dog could offer any protection from thieves and burglars, but that's not the point. They should be well aware of the situation before they got married. (just as I am with my cats)

It is still 'beyond me' why this woman could stand inside a dog sanctuary and not one sneeze or sniffle on camera.

There are two culprits here (the couple) and one victim (that poor old dog).

Now, I have to keep watching the show, to see how much more appalled I get from their behaviors...
