I think it has a lot more to do with making sure this doesn't happen again. That no dog is once again placed in a home where it comes out of it looking like that.
No, no one here is 100% sure but I'll be honest, I'm pretty much convinced. But don't you worry, chaz as a whole is great at digging, I imagine if these are fake it will be found out. And if they aren't, well I'm very very glad this is publicly posted rather than privately dealt with
