Jairi made this thread specifically as a cover for whatever she was planning to do with Bullseye. She never contacted Dianna to come get him. Here is Dianna's e-mail to me confirming this.
I feel like throwing up and punching something. She lied to us. She lied to everyone. She knew what she did was wrong and lied to cover it up. No matter how sick she is, she knew it was wrong. And I'm willing to bet he isn't her first victim. I just hope he's the last.
The bolded part: Here's the thing...imo, which I'll get to more in the following parts. She knew it was wrong in the sense that
other people view it as wrong...so it must be wrong. My guess is though, that she didn't
feel it. She knew it on an intellectual level and wanted to defend herself so she wouldn't get flack... or she wouldn't have tried to cover it up.

When I try to train him, he just falls into me and stares at me with lovey eyes. When I try to move, he leans into more. I should video it... I have NEVER met a dog like this in my life. And honestly - I don't know what the hell to do with it. No matter HOW I act to him, he does the same thing - falling over himself and me, staring at me like a lovestruck puppy... which I guess he is.
Going through this thread, and reading ALL posts from the start so I have a better idea of what's going on, and I just have to say THIS part kills me. How she can be so cold and incompassionate to a puppy that just wanted love. It sounds to me like he had the grounds for being a very devoted, loyal dog if the effort would have just been put in.
Yes, lots of puppies from all kinds of breeds start out that way. As they mature, they develop confidence and just figure out where they're going. (so to speak) This is a puppy thing...absolutely not necessarily an indication of how they're going to be when mature. I had a GSD that was just like that as a baby. He was just flat out silly that way, falling all over on his back. He grew up and was a very confident, not a bit shy, devoted protector. Yes, he did display on a couple of occasions very good protection drive...in real life! lol. (another story)
How someone can be that cold and in-compassionate to reject a puppy's plead for love and affection, Although I am not a psychologist or anything...... I suspect the answer is some kind of personality disorder.There are a few of those where empathy is absent and when that is the case, they can not recognize another's suffering or put themselves into another's shoes.
AT ALL.
It's very hard to relate to or picture when you
aren't missing that essential human factor.
