Sorry For Your Loss OMG!!! My heart is hurting for you! Report the dog and what happened ASAP. Although it isn't the dog's fault that he is trained to attack other animals, the reality is that he DOES attack other animals and should not be able to continue. Responsible dog owners raise their dogs to be loving additions to their household, not killers waiting for the first opportunity to attack. The responsible thing to do is for the dog to be euthanized. YES, you should be concerned for the safety of your child as well as any other child that might possibly be around. As for your decision whether or not to try to save little Scooter, his conditions as you described and whatever the doctor informed you at the time, along with your love for your baby, I'm sure you made the right choice. It's never easy. I totally understand. I have worked in the veterinary field since 1991, and have been right there with pet owners agonizing over that heavy decision many, many times over. You did what was best. I'm so sorry for your loss. |
