My prayers are with you, your family, and Gizmo. If your mom doesn't get the peace of mind she is seeking, please encourage her to look into a boxer rescue organization instead of putting him to sleep. Rescues are very good at identifying if these behaviors could be rehabilitated OR if a certain type of home would alleviate the behaviors. For example, if a dog is protectively or jealously aggressive, sometimes they can place them in a home with no children, no other pets, not many visitors, sometimes only a single man or a single woman, etc., etc. AND they react on the drop of a dime - they are trained to do so.
Good Luck! |
