What a tragedy. I have to agree with Megan on this one. My father had a gs/collie mix. Looked like a long haired gs. He was great in the beginning (dad got him 2 months after mom died and they were joined at the hip) but then one day....he snapped. he killed anything he could get to. Squirrels, a small dog, and then my kitten in my kitchen on thanksgiving night. That was the end of it. Dad (with a broken heart) gave him up to be pts. He had tried to bite me and my kids several times as well. Even if he would have been 5 pounds, I would have still made the decision I made then. IMO it is not fair for human or animal to live in fear and I believe agression gone bad stems from fear. Its a tuff call, but having been there too I still stand firm on my decision at that time. Unfortunately, a situation like this leaves every living thing in the home with this animal, uneasy and fearful b/c u just never know.
Good luck and God Bless
