Here’s a Washington Post Express article giving more details on the Cookie and Coco story.

I’m glad the dogs have a new home but it really puzzles me how the animal activists could be so mean to her. Read this comment from the article link above:

Thank you for finding out the real story. However, I would hate for this woman to get any financial gain from giving up her dogs when millions of dogs lose their lives in shelters every day.

I mean, WTF? This woman tries to find a home for her beloved dogs, happens to gain a lot of attention for it completely by accident, and now she becomes the target of hate? She’s the reason thousands of dogs are euthanized every day? Wait just a doggone minute!

What these activists should be doing is learning from her. There are 10,000 people who responded to the dog ad: that’s 10,000 potential homes for needy dogs. Instead of dissing her, these activists should be asking her for that contact information so other dogs can find homes. Spreading hate is no way to win people to your cause.

I love critters, too, but some of these animal activists should learn how to become social with humans first.
