Valid Complaint Or Dog Snobbery? Puppy Project Cancelled In Charlottetown School

One thing that I absolutely do not tolerate is deceit, I loathe it.

If it is brought to my attention that someone is committing an out right act of deceit, I will look into the situation. Clearly, there are some serious questions that need to be answered as to the cancellation of The Prince Street Puppy Project in Charlottetown, Prince Edwrad Island. 

The basis of the cancellation of The Prince Street Puppy Project was on the sole complaint of one Krista MacLeod that her son had taken an asthma attack due to a possible dog allergy. Now, that was stated in an article CBC had reported June 20th-2014: http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/canada/prince-edward-island/school-dog-program-upsets-parent-1.2682153 

This is a screen shot from the CNN Facebook page as to dogs & allergies where Ms. MacLeod posted a comment as to the benefits of dogs outweighing allergies. Also, the direct link is here: http://ireport.cnn.com/topics/1080777

The Prince Street Puppy Project has been cancelled due to this particular complaint so I wanted to see if there was any truth behind Krista MacLeod's supposed issue. It didn't take very long to discover some discrepencies as to her sons possible dog allergy related asthma attack. 

Why is the School Board cancelling a clearly beneficial project for all students for one child?

If Krista MacLeod's son has dog allergies then why does she allow her son to crawl in to dog crates WITH dogs? 

If a child can be surrounded by dogs at home then why has this project been cancelled? The school had made arrangements to not have the dogs involved in this puppy project in her sons classroom so what is really going on here? 

Given the screen shot of a conversation by Ms. MacLeod as to 'mutts' perhaps, since she derives from a CKC breeder family her real issue is the 'mixed breed dogs' involved in the Prince Street Puppy Project? Seems like a very fair question one could ask, does it not? 

Look at the pictures (dated), read the article & if after you have read & observed all & you also have the same suspicions as to intent of complaint?

Let Ms. MacLeod know that what she has done is wrong & shameful. Let her know that the children that have been involved with the Prince Street Puppy Project for three years do not deserve to have their dogs taken away. This project has been extremely beneficial & the children think of those dogs as theirs & due to one person their dogs are now lost. 

Insist that the Eastern School Board reinstate the Prince Street Puppy Project in Charlottetown PEI! 

This is an absolutely tragic situation for the kids & 'their' dogs!
