I just posted in Dog General about this & to repeat, it's,

I try to watch her show everyday & I did see today's show where she
talked about it. I do hope the group reconsiders & finds this new family
to be responsible people who love the dog. Anyone who knows Ellen, knows
what a animal lover she is. I would think Ellen has enough smarts to know
a responsible pet lover when she sees one. Give the dog back, I say.

Only thing I would add is ,Ellen made the point that she did the wrong thing.
She was upset that the dog had to suffer for her mistake in not following
the adoption policy. She was doing the right thing in finding a good home
for the pup, but overlooked the policy papers. I hope something can be
worked out for all concerned.The family & their little girls did bond with the pup.
