Bubble Story PLUS PICS!

He was a doll. I love the pics. I know you felt bad about doing that. I wonder if classes and socialization would have helped him? I'm not saying what you should have done, just wondering. The people you got him from sound like BYB so the breeding was probably his downfall temperament wise. I'm glad you have a dog that makes you happy. Remember, it's not your fault about Bubble so try not to feel bad about him.

umm am I understanding correctly that you took a dog that had a history of biting to a shelter to be adopted by someone who doesn't know his biting history? Did you take him to puppy classes to get socialized? Did you teach him not to play bite as a puppy? My chow mix is the sweetest dog ever why? Because I raised her and socialized her well.

I tried EVERYTHING with him and yes he went to puppy classes started at 3 months of age. Nothing seemed to help. And i took him to the shelter you know why. And they do test their temperment and he needs to pass a test before getting adopted. And no the shelter wont adopt out a dog with that history because i told them all what happen, they can decide what to do.

If you knew he would be destroyed why wouldn't you just take him to the vet? I'm pretty sure he'd much rather spend his last few minutes with the one person he loved rather then being scared and surrounded by strangers.

If i gave him 9 chances what makes you think i could myself put him to sleep? He was such a young dog as well. I tried my best to keep him longer and longer but nothing worked. Maybe just maybe there was hope for him in the shelter. If i took him to the vet myself i know there would be none.

Thats just the thing! You should not have taken him to the shelter. You should have had him put down. He was your responsibility not someone elses. If someone got bitten because you refused to do what is right that is just terrible.

I know most people would of turn him into the shelter the first time he bit but no i had to give him 9 chances!! I just could not do it. It was impossible for me. And no i could not just put him down myself i did not have the heart to walk out of there knowing he was gone. When i first turn him into the shelter i cried for hours. Second time it was more anger than sadness because i know i should of left him the first time and i would of been done with it. And the shelter will TAKE in any dogs. I did what i could here.
