What about the fact that your mother was injured by this dog when it tore into your house? That doesn't mean anything? That's ridiculous!!
Marti, I am so sorry this is happening. I agree, I don't think the dog should be destroyed or anything, but he obviously has a problem with Reilly. I guess the owners would not be approachable to discuss anything with, right? Sigh.
Well, please be super careful (as I know you will/are) when Mr Reilly is out. For everyone's safety.
Hugs to all of you!
