I think the discussion here is great. Lots of understanding and sympathy is shown towards the dog. Gives a smile on my face.
I just want to clarify that I understand Euphoria's (and his chick's) stance too, very well.
I also want to add that I don't think the niece showed bad parenting from what is described here (EDIT: I meant the niece's parents). Risks in life are everywhere, not everything bad can be avoided. It's not reasonable to take perfect precautions against everything.
