Anyway, I can't convince anyone of anything, just stand sure in how I feel. I can't even see myself hating a dog that has harmed me or mine, even if I would want it put down if it was unprovoked. Example, my youngest child stuck her hand in a gate with a husky and almost got her finger bit off. She knows dogs, she knows how to read them and this dog was behind her own gate with a Beware of Dog sign that my kid was able to read.
Whose fault was it? My kids, completely and totally, but I didn't feel as though this dog should be killed because the dog didn't do anything that a dog should NOT do. It was my kids fault. Now had the dog JUMPED the fence, then the blame would be on the dog.
One thing that bothers me is had it been a pit bull that bit my kid, it would have been in the news as a pit bull attack, even though it was my kids fault for sticking her hand in a fence with several signs that said beware of dog.
And like someone else said there is often a big difference between the bite of a pit ball and the bite of other dogs, perhaps if it was a pit bull, your daughter might be missing a finger or a hand. May I ask what happened when the husky bit her finger, did she pull away and he release it or did someone have to pry the husky's mouth loose from her finger. |
