i agree with the others here i think it's horrible that thedog was put down but i can't compreheand why anybody who has a pet that is part of the family would wait that long i would be down there as soon as i found out and i've never heard of a shelter saying one owner had to be there if it's her husband they BOTH own the dog right ? why could'nt they give him the dog that would have been my first ? i would'nt take that for an answer when i called there and 2nd there would be no excuse for waiting that long like CAN"T GET OFF WORK you call in and say anything your sick, your hurt, cars dead, i would use any excuse i needed in order to take time to pick him up OR pick him up and then go to work late anyway this story is sad because it's the dog that paid the price for the owner being so relaxed on the idea to go get him right away ok i have to stop writing know because i'm getting Upset
