301. Well there is a conspiracy on this board to steal Yoshi

Since her first post there his been comment after comment about how instead of "panhandling", she should take Yoshi to "Akita Rescue". That it's only a "reasonable suggestion" that TTW give up her dog. Why does she keep asking for rent money to keep her dog with her instead of acting on "reasonable suggestions" to give up her dog? Even after you got involved, there were many comments on your thread about how even YOU were involved with some "scam" which was proven by TTW ignoring the "reasonable suggestion" and all the "resources" that involved giving up her dog. Many people here assert it is "better for the dog" (without a thought to TTW) for Yoshi to go elsewhere.

I would not downplay the conspiracy on DU at all.

From TTW's perspective, she trusted a stranger to take care of her beloved dog, and the next thing she knew, the dog was in the "rescue" system - and she was even worried he might be put down at some point because he was a guard dog that could threaten other animals or even bite people. It's *her* loyal dog.

This is not in anyway to criticize what you tried to do, which was waaaaaaaaay above and beyond the call of kindness.

I just want to affirm that TTW is not paranoid about DU: there is a conspiracy to take away her dog here, and I can see why she responded the way she did. People are coming across as crass and uncaring, putting dogs before people.
