Liz dropped her phone on the coffee table and immediately started crying. We had just been emailed the decision that our local shelter had reached the end of the road with Heidi, a 9-month old black brindle pit bull terrier mix that had wiggled her way into our lives. Shelters have to make these heart-wrenching decisions every day due to overcrowding, behavioral concerns, or the health of the animal. But this was different. This was our baby.
