 Quote From: pat1345 You sound like a very knowledgable and devoted dog owner. It is unfortunate that most owners don't realize or care about the responsibility they have to their dogs and other people. They don't want to put in the time and effort it takes to properly socialize and train their dogs. But then, people don't want to take the time and effort to socialize their kids. Why should pets be any different? Dogs of course, they can easily dump if they don't behave. This dog needs to be with someone who understand the breed and this dog's disability. Someone with no children. Or, he needs to be put down. My dog showed no aggression towards animals when his first bite happened. As a matter of fact he loves playing with other dogs.
It was a werid thing.. My 19 year old daughter called me up and said she was babysitting a 4 year old and she needed to go by the house and get something. I told her the dogs were not in their creates and she needed to leave the child in a safe place because 2 big dogs in her face would be scary. (a lab & dalmatain) She didn't listen to me. She had the child on the porch. The dal came out of the house and started to bark. My daughter got scared picked up the child whose is now crying a ran away the dog went after them. My daughter was able to protect the child but was CUT (not bitten) by the dogs teeth. (she did have to go to the hospital) The dog was under house arrest. for 10 days per the dog officer and our vet. NO STRANGERS WERE ALLOWED AT THE HOUSE. again my daughter knew this a week to the day she brought home a friend (that knew of the frist problem) I was home this time sitting on the couch. I heard the dog barking but I could not get there fast enough. The friend turned to move away from the dog and the dog bite. We(as a family) took the dog to many professionals. The dog was also quaantined at our vets office for 10 days. I brought him dinner and spent hours with him during that time. The vet recommended us not to put the dog down. the said they saw no agression while he was there. We do everything in our power to prevent this from happening again. We have taken the advise of the professional however I do not trust this dog or any dog 100% given any situation ANYONES dog can bite. I protect my dog and I protect the people around him. I introduce new people slowly to him. Sorry if there are a lot of spelling errors, I am a work now and don't have a lot of time. |
