A girl who I presently work with used to be a Veterinary Technician. She told me that she was once in the examining room with the doctor when the dog he was examining knocked him down and went for his throat! The owners of this dog had just gotten him from a shelter. The vet had quite a hard time subduing this animal, but when he finally had things under control he suggested to the family to euthanize the dog the family has 3 small children and the dog's history was questionable. The people said no and left his office in a huff. I realize that this dog's past owners most likely contributed to his behavior, but what I couldn't understand was this family is keeping a dog capable of what they just witnessed!
