Lucky's more likely to receive the assistance of some kind soul that Dana, and that may be the end game: Sooner or later, someone's going to drop the dime to the Orangeville SPCA, and when they respond, they'll likely report herself to Adult Protective Services when she loses control. Unless she gets all Goebbels and murders her four-legged "child' before offing herself.

Right now, that dog's her only chance of making it out of her self-imposed hell alive.
