I don't think hitting a dog in any manner is right, but there is a finite line between a tap to get a dogs attention and a full on abusive strike. What do you think saying anything would have accomplished? It doesn't sound to me like a situation that would fall under the legal terms of abuse. Granted, it's still not right, but there's nothing you can do here other than make an enemy. |
It was there first time at our vet, the man was filling out the paper work. It was not a tap. He did not yelp when we where out there but a minute after us going back we heard him yelp.
