I don't know- it's told from the point of view of the people who opted to euthanize him in the first place... I know of more than a few pets who were supposed to be euthanized but were revived and adopted out. Usually it's because the owners have a crappy reason-- like a stomach bug that will eventually go away-- if you're tired of the puking and diarrhea, give the dog away... You don't have to kill it!

And the fact that he's lathargic and unhappy might give some clue into the owners as well.

All in all, I think there's another side to this story- a better side.

I agree with what Prin says. At the same time, the vet's dishonesty bugs me. He could have refused to euthanize instead of faking it. It is a very strange story.

Refusing means they'll just go elsewhere and another vet will do it. Pretending means the doggy stays alive... You know? If you're really out to save the life, you don't refuse.

It's confusing to me that people that wanted to have her put down are now grateful to get her back...

Sorry for the 3rd post in this thread, but they're probably only happy because the media's looking and they get to sue somebody- 15 minutes of fame. But the dog is still not happy.
