And the shelter lied.

I hope Chad saw a doctor for his wound and is up on his tetanus shots.

Many pets here live in far from perfect homes, so let's not start pointing fingers, ok?

I have been on meds thru my life, Lori - and will be for the rest. It is for clinical depression. It is when conditions like this are NOT treated that trouble happens - and Jess is getting help, as is Chad.

I think they could have dogs again - but no more "returned" dogs.

Hi Catty,How have you been doing?

Ok First The dog obviously in unstable due to his past or the present situation he is in,Not one of us can say what is going on in that home,I can appear to be an animal lover,But no one knows what goes on behind closed doors right? in reality it is true.

The dog needs some training,If these dogs have been bounced around in homes who knows what they have been through,Now as i have read Bear is fine?
Dogs do not come agressive overnight as we all know,Somthing has happend that will probably be let out,And there is a million things to pin point why he is doing these things,What if Chad did something,When do dogs bite???? Everyone asks there self that Question,I do not believe we are getting the full truth.I think something has happend in that home,Only time will tell!

As to what i suggest.Getting that dog some kind of help,Classes whatever it takes,These dogs most likely have been through the ringer,Giving up is not an option in my books,I dont care how scared Chad is what if he did something,Would it be fair if Biggles was PTS over something he had no control over.
There is alot of people with small dogs on here ,Not all but some are nippy,My daughter works down the road at a kennel,She has been nipped by more poodles than anything,But it is taken into consideration they are on edge there in surroundings they are not sure of,And the big one ,There not at home,But that does not give the right to the Kennel owner to put them all down ! Something needs to be done,ill say i think these dogs are with two unstable people.They deserve better,I cannot make up anyones mind but....
We are all intilted to our opinions there is alot of people that are trying to guide them,But there minds are made up whether we like it or not.
