93. Ellen, you've got all my sympathy - a couple of years ago I was targeted by a similar group.for allowing my neighbor to keep my cat while I recuperated from surgery. They used that as a reason to take the cat back, even though it took MONTHS for them to find them new homes. Sometimes these groups, while well-intentioned, go way over the line of what is right.

94. Those crazy ladies' 'rescue' groups are all over the country. The NYT even did an article on them. This is more about bored women finding a way to be powerful over something than the animals. I hope Ellen puts that one out of business.

97. This is very sad, at least she found a good home for the dog. And I went to to the organizations website and the cowards have since removed their email address to "contact them" they must now realize how stupid their actions were and how much crap they are going to get from this.

98. I support Ellen all the way on this issue. Obviously the rescue group knew Ellen and what type of individual she is. Instead of returning the dog to the rescue league, not knowing how long it would take for this pup to find a new home, she found a loving home for the animal herself. The goal of the rescue league should be just that, finding a loving home for the pup, not worrying that some rules were by passed. My guess would be that this Rescue Group has done more harm to itself by their actions. Hopefully they will do the right thing and complete their in home interview and return this pup to Ruby. Step up to the plate who ever this Rescue Group is and do the right thing, Ruby is waiting to be reuinited with her special friend!

99. I can't believe some of the comments I am reading. Why does everything have to do with Ellen being a lesbian? She says over and over again on her show that she is a animal lover and for people to be this harsh about her truly amazes me. I now know why our country is so screwed up! ELLEN LOVES ANIMALS, ALL ANIMALS!

100. Seems to me that Ellen used the airwaves to muster up sympathy and put pressure on the adoption agency....an obvious abuse of her position. Do we really care about all the these personal issues in her life?....I think not! We all have issues from time to time that we have to deal with...deal with them and keep them to yourself.

101. Good God! The agency is the culprit here; Ellen put the dog in a good home! What a panty-waist, candy-assed society we've become- giving a dog away is media sensation? Let's put this in perspective; I have to BUY paper clips, but kittens are still FREE!

102. Good news! Thanks to all the emails you fine people sent I now have my dog back! Watch Ellen's next show or tonights news. They asked me questions on camera. I'm so happy.

Thank you everybody! Love, Iggy and Ruby

103. There sure are some very heartless and mean people responding to this story. I'm a snarky bitch myself but come on, it's about Ruby having her pet taken away from her. You just don't do that to a little kid. Nothing to do with being lesbian, crying in baseball or dog lovers in LA. IT'S ABOUT A KID LOSING A BELOVED PET!

104. It's a dog! I love my dogs, but she acted like her mom got murdered or something. She's just upset over the bad press. Gheez!

105. I love Ellen, and I am sure that she took care in finding that doggie a good home -- BUT......with rescue adoptions, there are rules. I have two friends that adopted dogs from a rescue center - the terms and conditions are very clear. I feel really bad for that little girl, possibly they could be considered as an adoptive family for that pet.
Sorry Ellen - I love ya but....them's the rules.
