Re: Dogs ordered to be put to death due to clerical error.

Strictly speaking the title is not misleading as that is exactly what happened. However sad but true, people are more likely to read a title that grabs them. As mentioned in the article its not unheard of for this sort of "error" to lead to dogs dying. The Hardwicks mentioned in the article where owners I dealt with personally. I took the call from them when the truth came out and it is something i never want to do again. If the title made you read it, it did its job because for a tiny moment, you felt a little of what those owners felt.
