So I saw this Tuesday afternoon and cried right along with her. Since then I've checked Youtube hourly for the footage to hit and on the rare instances that it did it was immediately pulled. Enter TMZ.

So the back story is that Ellen adopted this dog from an LA pet adoption place. The dog didn't get along with her existing pets and she was able to find it another loving home with her hair stylists and her kids. The pet place found out and removed the dog b/c the rules state that if you can't keep the pet you bring it back to the agency. Not pass it on. This is heartbreaking but here you can see Ellen pleading with the agency to give the dog back.
