It has taken me two days just to be able to talk about it; I couldn't get it out of my mind. While I was waiting at the vet's office with Carina last Saturday, in came a couple with a dog who had his head bandaged and most of his body shaved. The poor pup had big gushes all over his body. He was so desfigured that it was hard to tell what kind of mutt he was. Of course everybody there asked what had happened to him. Here is the story: three German Shepherds ganged up on him and if somebody had not separated them, the would have kill him. These were GSD born and bread in Germany, trained as guard dogs. Why in the world somebody who lives in a fairly quiet, rural community would need three guard dogs is beyond me. And why they would allow the dogs to be off leash is irresponsible beyond words. Now the GSDs will have to be put down because they are too dangerous, not only to other dogs but also to children in the area. As far as I'm concerned, the owners should be given a long jail term. But, of course, nothing is going to happen to them. It's the dogs that will be sacrificed because of their stupidity.
The couple who brought the injured pup were to be blamed as well because he was also without a leash and unsupervised. But, at least they took him to the vet right away.
Reading about episodes like this is upsetting enough. Seeing it with my own eyes was absolutely horrible.
