People.com ran a story today detailing emails laid out by The Smoking Gun between Ellen DeGeneres, Portia De Rossi and Marina Baktis, one of the owners of Mutts and Moms.
The correspondence, reveals the couple’s initial love for dog, their decision to give him away, and the shock expressed by pet-rescue agency Mutts & Moms at that development.
A partner at Mutts & Moms, Marina Baktis, tells the couple that Iggy’s relocation constitutes “a betrayal of our trust” and a violation of the contract, to which de Rossi replies, “Your email is truly heartbreaking to many people.”
There is also one e-mail from DeGeneres’s hair stylist, Cheryl Marks, who pleads that after two weeks, Iggy is “bonded and loved by our family.” Baktis insists he must be returned.
So after reading the emails, we have to wonder, what happened that kept the adoption from happening!? Did Cheryl not return the dog as requested and this is what spurred Mutts and Moms to get Iggy themselves?
