Sometimes desperate folks take desperate measures.  Such a sad story for all.  I couldn't have done it and you may say that she could have come up with the money somehow or she shouldn't have the dog(s).  My take is that she was at one time able and prosperous enough to share her life with these animals and something happened to change her lifestyle drastically.  I do not approve of what she did as I feel she could have simply turned the dog over to the humane society and they would have taken it from there.  My heart goes out to the little furbaby, and to that woman.  She has done something she will probably never get over.  I have been broke before too and it is NO FUN!!  I think we should all pray for her as she seems to be punishing herself beyond what any court can do.  She has to live with it.

yes i do think that she did love her baby but i just fell for the pain that little girl had to go through and i am sure that the lady is  hurtting for what she did and realy sorry for what she did but just maybe she could have had a friend of family take the furbaby till she could get her self back on her feet or if her little one was in that bad of health and she felt she could not care for her then she should have took her to a humane society
