The female mixed breed dog that was rescued from I-80 in Reno, NV, by Trooper Brett Tierney last week, has been reunited with her owner, Ralph Soboi. Seems that Soboi had only had the 7-month-old puppy, Meise, for only one day before “pranksters” removed her collar let her loose.
After hearing about the story from a friend, Soboi went to animal control the following day and claimed Meise saying his three nieces, 2,4 and 6, were especially happy to have her come home.
“The girls were here waiting for her to come home,” he said. “It meant the world to them.”
“I think they feel terrible,” Soboi said about the “pranksters” who let Meise loose. “I believe that karma will catch up with them.”
Soboi was grateful to Trooper Tierney for rescuing Meise and Tierney was glad that Meise was back with her family. Meise is reported to be settling back in just fine.
“He was a very good officer,” Soboi said. “I’m very thankful for him saving her. That’s pretty darn nice.”
“I’m just happy that the dog was reunited with its family,” Tierney said, wishing the dog and family well.
While I am usually always happy to hear about dogs being reunited with their families, I am disappointed that Trooper Tierney couldn’t adopt this sweet girl that he rescued. Even more so with a last statement Soboi made that he hoped Meise will have a littler of puppies. As if there aren’t enough dogs and puppies dying every day in desperate need of homes, this man wants to breed a mixed-breed dog to bring more puppies into this world. A sad shame to what should be a happy ending to a story. 
Yes, it is wonderful news that Miese is back with her family, but, I am so dismayed with the fact that the owners want to breed her. I hope to hell that someone talks some sense into this family – what we don’t need is another batch of puppies that will most likely end up in a shelter – whether or not it is a high kill shelter or not.
It is my hope that their vet will talk to them, and tell them to get her spayed, in the best interest of Miese and in the best interest of all the homeless dogs we do have.
This is one “ending” that I am not pleased about!
In my opinion, Soboi is NOT much interested in Miese. Has he been looking for … in any way … her after her disapearence?
Any responsible parent (I am against the word “owner” as all other living beings are NOT our property!) would want the best for their children and would not brag about having a litter of pupies. What will he be doing with the puppies? More innocent creatures in this world to suffer? Please … please … please … get someone … some animal society people i.e. PETA, Best Friends, ASPCA, etc…, etc…, etc…, talk some sense into these people. Susie hopes for Soboi’s vet to talk to them. Do they have a vet? I do not want to sound pessimistic but … do they and/or will they have a vet or even … bring Miese to a vet? I wonder …
Sorry D. Did I miss something? I have read and re-read this article and still see nothing where he said he wanted her to have a litter of pups. Oh well, never the less, I am glad she is home with her owner and mostly very happy she wasn’t killed on the highway. Hopefully, he will not breed her. As Susie say’s, we don’t need any more mixed breed pups around. There are so many that are sitting in shelters that need homes. I say once every single one of the pups are adopted in every single shelter, then, and only then, should people even BEGIN to think about bringing a single mixed breed pup in the world. I hope Soboi reconsiders breeding this sweet little girl. Good luck to you Meise…may you have a wonderful life.
