After Marina arrived at the premises, she grabbed Iggy and wouldn't let him go, thereby prompting the new owners to call the police.<BR/><BR/>I might add that I've read through the adoption agreement used by Mutts and Moms in placing Iggy, and there was nothing in there that would give them the right to take Iggy without a court order. Even the police who were involved in the standoff now admit that they probably made a mistake in letting Marina leave with Iggy.<BR/><BR/>There's also a certain amount of confusion about whether Mutts and Moms would have made an exception and let Iggy be reunited with his new family. Initial reports indicated that the reason Mutts and Moms seized Iggy was because they did not allow dogs to be placed in a house with children under the age of 14.
