This is horrible news Tina, but I have to say when I saw the thread title I was so afraid it would be that Annie was sick, so I am glad she is not sick or hurt in any way. I don't see how you could have taken any other action than what you did, you did try but the dog was probably legally hers and the law on her side. Mostly it is the father's fault who found the dog a home when it wasn't his dog

I'm so sorry you and your family have had so much pain recently but I am glad at least to hear that Annie's owner seemed to care for her.. just give yourself some time. I know like Sandra said, the right pup will come along. {{hugs}}
