R.I.P Scooby Doo Mojo

I don´t get it.. I do understand the not wanting the bad pressand having him euth anyway.. but why couldn´t say he fall from a tree or something.. it doesn´t looks that bad.. and even if they reposted it as dog bit couldn´t they claim it was a stray they never saw again?..

I´m sorry and i know nothing can be done now.. but IMO there were other options.. I mean it´s not like the cut couldn´t come from somewhere/something else.. I´ve done more damage myself in other ways (falling)

If I had known what had happened in the beginning then yes I would have gone about this differently, regardless, Scooby had to be put down, but the lady and her son both know that what happened was thier fault. And that is what I told her but she had already told the police it was Scooby, sad ending to what was a beautiful dog. Thanks HM, I appreciate it

While there were alot of other options, I don't think this bite was just something to blow off. I don't think Scooby should've been put down either, although he would've anyway because it's a state law, and I do feel terrible for him and APBTmom. I don't think lying would've helped the situation, I mean what if it happened again to but it was someone else? Lying isn't really a way to handle the situation. The laws there are stupid though, around here a dog gets three chances, if it bites three separate times then it will be put to sleep but they at least give the owners sometime to work with the animal. Regardless, I think things could've gone differently. The key is to PREVENT this from happening and make sure it never does happen.

Alysser, you are absolutely right about there could have been other options but this statement in bold is why he had to be put down, they have a 3 year old that cif that had been him it could have likely done wzy more damage, the mom and the son both learned a very valuable lesson, I WISH, you all have NO idea how I wish this could have gone differently, and this is why I stressed to both the son and the mother that what they were doing was the right things as owners and that next time, IF they ever got a large breed (bully) type dog they would come to me for advice and training. And you are right that lying would not have helped the situation as she aske dme about a rescue and I told her no that as soon as she told them he had bitten someone they would have told her no thank you, especially due to his breed. So sad all the way around, makes my heart break again all over. RIP Scooby

This is the first time I've read this. Its so sad. If all that kid had was a little scratch where the bandaid is, that dog was controlling himself. That was not an aggressive bite. He never should have been put down. I hope you call all local shelters you can and have these people put on a no adopt list for life.

Thank you for your words and it was a nice gash in his cheek it was sewn up with liquid glue and he had stitches in his nostril, it was a controlled bite and I have let everyone I know not to let htem have a dog again, *shrugs*
