So, I read that you weren't ok with a dog being put down because it attacked ?

I nearly had my entire hand taken off by a dog. It had my entire hand in its mouth and was using it like a chew toy. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was gnawing at it, and eating at it. I had to pull at it so hard to get it out. I remember running home with my hand dangling and blood running down.

I was in the hospital for weeks, broke bones in my hand, and it got infected. I have the scars on my hand for life to prove it.

The owners put the dog down. I guess for fear we'd sue them for not having it on a leash? because it attacked an innocent child? I'm not too sure. I was 5 years old.

So, just asking.

Do you think this was right or wrong of the owners?

Should we have sued?

Keep in mind, we're in Canada and this was 1985. (but it could be relevant today)
