A friend of ours had a yellow lab, his ex kept when they were divorced. He was ok with it, since she also had custody of their daughter. Not too long ago, she was talking of getting rid of the dog and he said he would take it. Before he got Angel, she "disappered" His daughter, who is 11, doesn't really buy that story, since she saw dog fur in the back of the van. By the time we heard about it, the dog had been gone for awhile, but I keep checking the humane society page in case she turns up. Being a trained, 5 yr old lab, we are hoping she was already adopted into a good home.
