That is really sad. While I hope the people who originally adopted her had good intentions, unfortunately since she was returned after only a year I have to assume that, because she had gone viral on the internet, the people who adopted her were more looking for their 5 minutes of fame rather than actually wanting to give her a good home.

Definitely, I kind of hope they get put on blast because of it. I would never get an animal for that reason, you have to take an animal with the intention of taking care of it for it's life, or yours depending on the circumstances.
that's a pretty big assumption and condemning them without knowing absolutely anything about their reasoning is pretty crazy. of all the applications i assume they gave her to one that they felt best suited her needs. really, do you not think the dog dubbed "saddest in the world" might be a bit difficult to care for? even regular dogs take a lot of patience. maybe they just bit off more than they could chew.
but anyways, seems she's already found another human: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4499880/Saddest-dog-world-finds-loving-new-family.html
Do not adopt animals at all if you're going to take them back because they are unresponsive to you.
If you want a dog that's going to instantly love you and wanna be with you all the time and not ever be an inconvenience to you, then don't get a pet at all ever.
I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, of all different kinds, and you can't give up on them ever. Obviously it's a different matter if they're extremely aggressive, but if you give them up because you get tired of them or they aren't what you expected them to be, do not get a pet at all.
