I copied this from a forum discussing this Shuma case, and I thought this person made some good points. I found the forum by clicking the first link that was posted in this thread.



1. Shuma is not belonging to the care-taker. It is the same as a baby-sitter refusing to give back a child.

2. If she had found the dog lost, the right thing to do would be giving Shuma back- no matter how much the children love Shuma.

3. Shuma is NOT a pet. Shuma is a service dog; therefore, money, time, and effort was spent in training.

Come on, lady, give the man his dog back. Shuma is not yours and you were only to be a short-term caretaker.
