Anger over stray dog in ambulance

[Catherine]

There was a very real danger that the dog would cause an accident on the road and lives could be lost. Removing the dog was a safety issue. The ambulance could have stayed with the dog until the RSPCA showed up, but they wanted to get the woman to the hospital. I think they came up with the safest solution for everyone.

The woman was having a gall bladder attack. It wasn't going to be a pleasant trip anyhow.

No one was hurt or in any way endangered. I think the family is over reacting.

If the woman had said no dog or I am allergic to dogs that would be a different situation.
