Well, she stayed over night at the vet and they kept her on IVs because they saw how orange her pee was and to make sure she started eating. Long story short... we fixed the mange and put 10 pounds on her before her owners even noticed her at my grandmas house. After that, they started causing hell and threatening my grandma for having their dog.

I got all of my vet records and photos together, and a written statement from my vet and took it to our AC&C. The AC&C clerk even said the dog was so bad off that she would have just put it down. So I filed a complaint with a folder full of documentation.

After we made the formal complaint, I returned Rosie to her owners with their own personal copy of the information handed to AC&C. It wasn't pretty, but they got their dog back.

NOW... they keep the dog chained to a tree in their front yard without food, water and shelter. Rain or shine she's chained to that tree. Yes, she has her full coat back, but you can tell she isn't being fed, you can see her hip bones again.

Would you bother calling AC&C again, leave the people along because it's not your property, or would you just make the dog disappear?
