Did anyone else cry when the dogs were at the pound in Hotel for Dogs?

Wow, did anyone else cry when the dogs were at the pound in Hotel for Dogs? I personally have had a numerous amount of animals in my care over the first twenty four years of my life. Anything from raising a hutch of bunnies to helping birth two litters of puppies. Everytime that I realize one of my special little critters has gotten themselves locked up in doggy or kitty prison, I immediately well up with tears in my eyes and run screaming in there direction.
My last escapee was Roxy, my red dachsund that lives with my parents. I recieved a phone call on April Fool's day of this year, and it was my mom informing me she could not find Roxy. I started hollaring on the phone, what do you mean you can not find her? I thought for just a split second that my mom was pulling my chain, but she didn't start laughing or anything so I knew that something was up.
I hoped into my car and drove the seven minutes over to my mom's house. Driving extremely fast up and down the alley's screaming out my poor puppies name, I finally had to face facts and go to the pound to see if she was locked up. Well low and behold i found her in section 2 cell block 8, looking pittiful as ever. I went up to the nice man at the front of the office and asked him about getting my dog sprung. He asked me if i had any proof she was mine? Well besides the thousands of pictures on my phone of her, no, i didn't!
I paid the $15 to get her out and strictly reprimanded her and took her back to my parents. She was shaking like a leaf all the way home and I told her she needed to stay in the backyard or sadly they would keep her one of these days.
