maybe she was unable to get there till saterday? it says her husband was going to be right down to pick the dog up but the shleter said SHE had to pick up the dog herself, shelter hours can be very weird, its possable that she was unable to get off work to pick up the dog during the times the shelter was open, I know the shleter her is only open from noon-5, likley she works hence why her husband was going to go down and pick the dog up right away.

I thinks its a very sad story.
