How Young Teens Are Different From Older Millennials
That dog Ellen gave away found a new family
Filed under: In The News, Weird But True
Phew! I'm so glad this is finally resolved. In case you missed it, Ellen DeGeneres adopted a dog from an animal shelter last week. The dog, Iggy, didn't work out, so she gave it away to a friend's family. But that's against doggy adoption rules and regulations, so the animal shelter dog adoption organization group people took the pooch back -- which led to Ellen opening her talk show on Tuesday with a sobbing plea for Iggy to be returned. Oh, the drama!
As you might suspect, people got very upset after watching Ellen bawl her eyes out on national television -- so much so that there were threats of physical violence made against the adoption agency from those who wished to see Iggy reunited with Ellen's friend. However, the agency wouldn't budge.
Obviously, the real victim in all this is Iggy, and innocent dog just looking for love. Fortunately the now famous canine was placed with a new family on Friday. Hopefully this will provide some closure, and we can all put this emotional ordeal behind us once and for all.

Leian said...If what I've read is true, then you've missed the point of Ellen's plea. She wasn't upset on Iggy's behalf. It was that the little girl to whom she had given the dog had become rather attached to him and was heartbroken at having the dog taken away. In which case, Iggy being placed with another family does nothing to solve the drama. Ellen also said she hadn't signed anything that bound her to agency rules - perhaps true, given the way rules tend to be relaxed for celebs, although they certainly seem to be upholding their rules after the fact. In any case, not sure if we've really heard the last of this...
