    This is so very sad,I hate hearing any dog being PTS,I think any dog can be helped,My Bandit was a very aggressive dog,He nipped my hubby on more than one occasion,But i could not come down to putting him to sleep.He has his problems and so do we im just very against putting any animal down.If this is what you think is best fine,But do not let anyone influence you.There can be help for Mr Biggles!

    Its a shame hes being put to sleep, It sounds to me that hes got some huge trust issues with both of you and having a unstable enviroment isn't helping at all.

    He needs professional help and if you cant provide it for him I think you should find someone who can instead of ending his life, Fair enough you didnt know what issues he had when you took him on but now you do and now is the chance to pass him to someone with more experience than youself who can deal with his issues. I think having him put to sleep is the easy way out to be honest.

    We cannot just rehome him. He MUST be returned to the shelter. & not only that, but Bear HAS to go back with him... Since both dogs have been returned before, they both will be PTS... If I just return Mr. Biggles & tell him he attacked someone, he'll be PTS.

    Lets see my options...
    1. Loose both dogs & have them die alone
    2. Return Mr. Biggles to them telling them he attacked someone & having him die alone in a scary place.
    OR
    3. Having him PTS with me there comforting him.

    I still see 3 as being the best option. I don't care what he did, i can't just let him die alone, thats not right.

    Others may not agree with your decision, but I can understand completely.

    I rescued a dog several years ago who was pregnant. After she had her pups, she was attached to me. Eventually she became so jealous of anyone that came near me that she would bite without warning. I agonized for along time, discussed it with the vet and ended up sending her to the Bridge. It was the hardest decision I've made in a long time.

    I hope Bear will be spared. She has come a long way since you got her.
