Who has it worse, the dog or the child?

A little pug/beagle mix was brought in by its owner due to allergies.  Sounds reasonable right?  Now for the rest of the story. 

A seven year old girl, her mother and step father visited the shelter and found the little girl's dog in the kennel.  Apparently, the household where the dog lived with the father had two other dogs.  So are allergies a reasonable excuse?  Somehow I doubt it.  And the mother and stepfather do not live in a place where they are allowed to have pets.

So the little dog loses its family most likely out of spite and a little girl is devastated because she lost her dog. 

The only good news is that the dog was quickly adopted and placed in a loving home.  Hopefully the couple that adopted her won't divorce.
