I agree to a point, Clara. I originally tried a different approach with the guy. If he talked about putting the dog to sleep, what's the big deal with simply giving her to me? I'd seem like he'd look at it as if I'm taking her off his hands. I think that he saw how much I fell in love with her and saw dollar signs. Maybe if I'd acted like the dog was just another dumb dog he would have given her to me.
It sounds like you have thought it through pretty thoroughly and I hope it works out for you. Whatever the outcome, my prayers are with those poor dogs and bless you for trying to save them.

As I said, it is a decision that can only be made by you and your husband. It is impossible to really judge in cyberspace. You are the one that has seen and interacted with the dog and her current owner, so if you decide that Uma is the dog for you - more power to you. And I will look forward to pictures.
