Insane things done when people love an animal...

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. Risks are everywhere, not everything bad can be avoided. It's not reasonable to take perfect precautions against everything.

I feel very sympathtic towards my dog. When I came home last night and saw him outside the back door, jumping around because he was so excited to see me, I cried because I knew that he may need to be put down. I love this dog immensely and I would absolutely love to find him a new home without children so he can live until his last days, digging up and playing with rocks like he has his whole life.

Unfortunately though, if that can not be accomplished, as much as I love him, I could never have him live here, just because of what he did yesterday, and if it has to come to it, I will need to make a very difficult decision, no matter how unjust some people think it is.

 

I love my daughter and neice more.
