But I was not wanting the young lady turned off by attempts to get her (or her mother) to keep the dog when it was clear to me that the decision had already been made by them to rehome him. What good would that do? That's why I suggested we try to give her advice that would help with the rehoming process as that was what she said she was seeking. That's all.

you're saying exactly what i'm thinking... i agree that things don't always go the way we/you/i would do them, but it is not our place to make decisions for other people or go on a mission to change people's mind. i personally appreciate suggestions in order to keep the dog, but if the decision is made, all i see is conversion with a wall.... instead of being helpful.
(i believe i stated that before, but sometimes comments stating the other side of opinions conviniently get ignored)
