Rest today, allow yourself to cry, I understand your extreme fury at your brother's dog. Try hard not to allow this anger to permeate your heart. As justified as it is, it will only injure you further. right now you are experiencing so many different emotions. It is unbearable enough to suffer the pain of such a loss, yet, you are also feeling the undeniable hurt and guilt concerning the decision to set "Scooter" free from his pain. This type of decision is a private hell of it's own. Please allow yourself to be comforted by all of the wonderful people here on this site, who truly do KNOW that unique and inexplicably deep love that you have for your "Scooter". You will receive much genuine compassion and conformation, from so many of us who have lived your nightmare, that your decision to set "Scooter" free was ultimately the right one. Right, only in the sense that your other option would have meant much prolonged pain for "Scooter", with the great possibility that the outcome would have been the same.

I know how impossible this seems right now..however..try to realize that , although , you are feeling that your family is standing against you, and coldly taking the side of your brother and his dog, with no compassion for your pain, understand that this may not be the case all. Your father does not want you to hurt yourself further by losing control and killing the German Shepard. My father would have done the same thing, not as a rejection to the pain, but out of his own desperation to get through to me, and make me aware of how much worse I would be making it for myself. I know that you , deep down, must realize that even if you did have a chance to kill the killer, your heart would still be shattered and you would not receive any peace from the act.

I do completely agree with the others here, YOU MUST report the incident and the dog!! If this dog can jump an 8 foot fence , and your brother has so little sense as to train his dog to kill "ANYTHING", then this situation is completely out of contol. I know it also seems impossible right now...to feel compassion for the German Shepard, however maybe it will help you to heal from your anger, if you can realize that it was not his choice to become a killer.

Through it all, and with deep compassion for your hurting heart, try to remember that anger and resentment , breeds more anger and resentment. Try not to put your parents in the middle. This is an impossible position for them. Don't allow your relationship with your parents to be destroyed by this tragic event.

Again, I cry for your loss. Remember not to suffer this nightmare alone. You have many people here that will take your hand and help you along the road to healing.

God Bless You

Well said. :thumbup:

Please add my condolences and hugs to the pile. Your Scooter depended on you to make the right decision for him at the end and you did. He is playing at the Rainbow Bridge already and will be waiting for you to rejoin him one day.....

grief and shock

we both are sharing in pain this week i am so sorry for the pain your feeling and i think i can understand the anger 100% I know my need to have someone to hate was huge ..but i could only in my case find myself ... on the brother and his trained killer you may be able to save someone else the pain and horror you are going through by turning him in .. you may ask your vet to do this for you so as to keep your family from blaming you in your time of loss i hope you baby will be met by Kissy and Nene and go chase some bugs

Please don't do anything to the German Shepard. They are really very loving dogs. If anything have him rehomed or make your brother take him to training.

Oh my god, I can't even image what I would do in this case. Cry alot it may help the hurt:(. Your brothers dog does need to be turned into the dog control. I would be so angry at my brother, but families do need to stick together. Some how you should forgive your brother.:mad: but also make him pay for all the hurt he has caused:aimeeyork. Yorkies seem to just get into you heart:animal-pa

Do you want to live next door to this dog that has been trained to kill? This one needs to be PTS real quick!!

I'm so sorry, for you for losing your precious baby, for the GS who may now lose his life for only doing what he has been taught to do, and especially for Scooter for giving up his life all for the stupidity of a person that thinks that the killing of defenseless innocents is a fun sport. I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Sleep peacefully, sweet baby.

My heart goes out to you and the anger is understandable; but don't let the anger linger and don't let it dictate your decisions. Your brother was wrong for training the GS that way, and he should not own the dog.

GS are wonderful dogs and hopefuly something good can come of this tragedy for all involved, including the GS. I will pray for healing all the way around and a blessed outcome for all involved.

How heartbreaking...I am so very sorry.

I hope your parents have lots of insurance...because when this GS attacks someone else's pet...or God forbid...a child...they're going to need it.

As for the other dog you need to report it to the aniaml control asap they need to take the dog into quarentine and you need to tell them about all the animals it has killed. This is a horrible situation but if this dog is going to continue to kill and your family is deeming this ok then you need to take action to make sure this never happenes again. I do not condone the shooting of any dog i just want to make that clear but i do believe if the animal is a killer it should be PTS.

Again i am sorry for you loss hun, we are here for support.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: i am so sorry for your loss, your poor baby !

I am so sorry your terrible loss is being compounded by the rift with your family. I hope you are able to find peace and use your family as a source of comfort. You are living the nightmare we all fear will happen to our babies.

I am so sorry. I am not a person that is very good at words especially when it comes to emotions but I can imagine if I am being put in the same position, how it may feel. May Scooter rest in peace.

I am so sorry for your beloved Scooter. You did the right thing by PTS and doubt he could have survived surgery. As for your brother's dog, I would be thinking about my child next. If the dog is trained to kill small animals, what is the difference with your daughter? Shameful that your parents don't see this threat which is lurking. Jumping an 8 foot fence says a lot about the dog. Personally, I would want to him PTS because I doubt he can be retrained.

Shaking my head because danger awaits anyone or anything on the other side of the 8 foot fence. Warmly, Deborah

I'm so sorry you have to go through all this :( Reading your story I'm holding back the tears. You had a tough decision to make, but you did the right thing. It's no fair for Scooter to be in so much pain.

Regaurding the german shepard, I would call animal control. Even if it is your brothers dog, this dog already killed one of your babies, and like you said, your worried about your daughters safety. What if he attacks another dog in the neighborhood? I know it'll be a hard thing to do, but if your family isn't doing anything, I would take it into my own hands and call the animal control. Better to be safe than sorry.

I'll keep you in my prayers that your able to make it though such a difficult time.

I am so sorry

I know how you feel because my Dior was also killed by another dog. Please hold your anger about doing something yourself.....

The dog that killed my Dior was release back to the owner ( so I know your anger) but I am going to suit the heck out of her! Its not about the $ at all.. its about teaching other how to be responsible. Because of their actions they caused so much pain that are unnecessary! I wanted the dog owner to know she changed by life .... the pain and sorrow won't even begin to described the loss.

Please call the animal control and report the case so that its well documented and what happened to your baby can save others. PLEASE PLEASE KEEP YOUR Daughter away from the dog....... thats the first thing you can do to protect your love one.

I had to learn the hard way ..... I wish I knew but if what happened prevents more tragedies .... it will comfort us in time.

My prayers are with you to comfort you and I know there is nothing that anyone can say to make you feel better but continue to share and vent... we are all here to support.

Please don't shoot the dog - please don't. That isn't the way to go and your family needs to step up and take measures he never near kids...and other dogs - any animal actually....but it isnt the dogs fault...it's your brothers fault :(and I'm very sorry for that.

IF I were in your shoes ....I'd do all I could to get my own place and start fresh -this is a dangerous situation for your daughter.

You have my condolences for your loss. That had to be horrible

Thank you all so much for your words of comfort and encouragement. It is comforting to know that I do not have to go through this alone.

I am still struggling with this, as can be expected. Yesterday, my two year old was outside calling Scooter and asking where he was. I just broke down. I know she doesn\'t understand why he is not here and it\'s so hard to not be able to tell her anything other than he went bye bye.

The first vet that I took Scooter to called this morning to check on him and I had to tell them the news. I think that they really thought he would make it.

As far as the other dog goes, he is still alive and being protected by my father and my brother. My mom on the other hand hates the dog and always has and SAYS she believes he should be destroyed, yet she still defends my brother\'s actions of making him violent. She says there is nothing she can do because it is not her dog and there is no animal control in our county. My dad put up electric fence to keep him contained and he thinks that will fix the problem. I told them that the LEAST they could do is get the dog neutered but they won\'t even do that because they say he is too big to take anywhere! The last time they took this dog to the vet, which has been YEARS, he tried to bite the vet!!!! I don\'t know WHY they cannot see what this dog is capable of. They also have another german shepherd and he attacks and HURTS him ALL the time. To add to the list, we had a 17 year old smaller german shepherd and this SAME dog attacked him and he died a few months later. The vet told them it was normal for a dog to attack a weak old dog.

I am at such a loss here because nobody seems to care. I don\'t know what I can do other than sue them and then not have a place to live because my husband has been going through job trouble for the past 3 years and his job right now is not stable. Me and my husband have made it clear that my daughter will no longer be able to stay here with them when we are not present because we can\'t take the risk of her being attacked. I can\'t do anything to my brother either because he is only 15 and I\'m sure my parents would get charged with whatever the consequences would be. This is so frustrating.

Although I do believe that the shepard was jsut doing what he was taught I feel he should be out down before he harms anything else. or else placed with a dog trainer and/or behaviour expert.

Oh just imagining the thought of that huge dog over scooter makes me shudder . . poor baby . . .I can only imagine what you were going through as you witness this helpless angel get trampled and killed before your very eyes.

I often stay away from this section as my heart always is in pain at so many of our beloved furbabies horrific stories of death . . :(

Please be strong . .and i will pray you overcome this grief. :(
