That’s exactly the situation one woman found herself in when her 19-year-old sister became homeless with her 1-year-old son and dog. With no other family to turn to, the older sister offered her sibling a place to stay, but on one condition – the dog couldn’t come. What unfolded next was a whirlwind of emotions and conflict.
