difficult but necessary a person needs to look at the BIG picture=in a dog's life he will come across all people, children, babies and who among them can compete with a biting dog?? sadly the dogs have the ability and the need to attack-i was told that if you had a dog that bit and you turned them over to the humane society and they were rehomed and bit, the original owner is still liable. I read your story on the day --wellll tomorrow i have to take my 3 yr old chihuahua to be put down--it breaks my heart-he was a sweetheart and then he had seizures and a definite brain disorder where his eye bulges from the pressure and he will attack and bite and not let go, i coped with it when it was just me being bit but now i have an 18 mth old grandson who loves dogs and has almost been bit---so you see we have to look at the whole picture and see that to bite once will happen over and over and it is a chance i won't take and neither should you. |
