OMG. I just came acroos the thread... I hope the dog will find a new home, one where his owner will have time to properly socialize and train him. Having huge love for animals is not enough, obviously, to own one. That comes with responsibility and persistance. Being in that unhealthy, frightening atmosphere every day of his life, no wonder that little boy has issues. And the owner didn't do much, it seems, to help the little guy in any way, if the dog got kicked, how mad can you get to hurt a little helpless dog???
. What would come next, I wonder. The dog had potty issues, mouthing and barking, it all comes out from stress and fear. Kids and wife's love for the dog isn't enough, I'd hate him to come back to that house. If only people did their homework more often before they give in to the cute face of a puppy
