You hear about this all the time... My brother and SIL are both in the military stationed in ND. She called this am to let me know what happened to them last night. They know another military family - he just deployed overseas and his wife went to Texas to be with her family for the 6 months he is gone. This couple have 2 dogs. They LEFT the dogs in military housing asking neighbors and friends to go over, let the dogs out and feed them. The dogs were not being cared for properly, so my brother took the dogs into his home but told the owners he would only do for 2 weeks as he has 3 children and a Bassett Hound himself. He did this to give them time to find proper care for the pups. One of the dogs is a Chiweenie, never been around young children - EVER. Is very yippy and is agressive to people and other dogs. Last night this little guy bit my nephew on the cheek and left 3 holes - I have seen the picture, right under his right eye. Nephew is 5 y/o. Cheek is a little swollen and you can definately see 3 holes. They called the owner to let her know they could not keep these dogs as they are not pet friendly to their children. The owner actually brought up taking the dogs to the pound. My SIL was dumbfounded. She doesn't want the dog around her children anymore but is not up for taking them to the pound and just dropping them off to Lord knows what. They are hoping the overseas military member will call today with a solution to this as his immediate supervisor was called and told of the situation. Can you imagine leaving your dogs to "whomever" would be willing to stop over to let them out and feed? Sounds like their house now has pee and poop all over it and their living room furniture has been destroyed. IMO they abandoned these dogs - they should NEVER be allowed to keep them or ever get another pet - EVER.
