I'm glad that Doogie was rescued from his dire situation. However, in this case I'm not so sure that Tammy went about matters in the correct way; I'll get back to this in a second. I'm disgusted that the AC, humane society, police ect. did not act on this matter. I don't know 100% of the story, but if it is true that none of these groups reacted then that is truly sad on their part.

Now to Tammy's approach. It really hasn't shown animal abusers whose wrong. In my opinion it has actually kind of back fired. Here's my thought pattern: Bad owner doesn't provide a proper home or care for his/her dog. Member of a rescue group comes and saves dog. Police come and arrest rescue lady. Negligent owners now have a dog that they don't care about removed from their property the easy way. Negligent owners are not in jail and most of the public focus will be on rescue lady, dog, humane society, and police, but not on them. Rescue lady is in jail and has probably really annoyed local law enforcement with her actions/motives.

Hopefully this will help neglected pets, and will help make sure that law enforcement is on the side of humane societies, rescues, and those who care about animals. However, I truly believe that we are not getting 100% of the story in this case. It has been said before; people don't get locked away in jail instantly. If she was in jail why wouldn't they be asking to help post bail, or for legal fees to hire a good attorney? I think the story is real, I think Doogie is real and in much better hands, but I think the story is written and displayed very 1 sided and to feed off the raw emotion of animal lovers. I'd be interested to see all public records, prior actions for this specific case, responses by law enforcement ect. There are always 2 sides to every coin.
