Has anyone else been watching the Piper story the past 2yrs?
WOW this is really scary to me the precidence that this "rescue" is trying to set.

Attorney Bell’s argument appears to be about setting precedent regarding the ownership of any dog handed into rescue by a shelter so that any right of recovery is immediately forfeited no matter the circumstances.
