You guys must have a cat/dog hybrid or something. My cat just stared at me with that "you're an idiot" look on her face whenever I tried to play with her.
Though I didn't watch Ellen's tearful episode, from what I read, I didn't get the impression that she was trying to bully anyone.
I think this is a classic case of idealism gone awry: the adoption agency's fanatical pursuit of the letter of the contract ultimately does more damage to the spirit of placing dogs in good homes. Why not be a little flexible and see how the kid and the family interact with the dog before being high-handed and take the dog from a loving home?
Well, this won't happen in my old and cheap washer, since you can just snap open the top and look inside at the clothes (and cat if she happened to jump in)churning in the wash!

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
1. Cut the zippers and cloth strip just ahead of the entrapped parts using a wire cutter.
2. Use a plier to squeeze the faceplates of the zipper fastener, which allows the entrapped part to slip off without any pain.
Then let out a sigh of relief.
