Well, to most of us, worldwide I guess, what those city officials did is outrageous.
But I also sense a dire warning.
Many pedigree dogs are worth a lot of money. Some spaniels for instance can fetch over £1,500. I don't know enough about it but some dogs could fetch even more than that.
And dogs are legally viewed as "property".
Let's hope I am wrong with my feelings of ill-omen.
I can't imagine the woman who bought the dog doing this....but the sweetest thing to do would be let all that money go, and give the dog back to her family. I would do that.
