Iīm sorry and i know nothing can be done now.. but IMO there were other options.. I mean itīs not like the cut couldnīt come from somewhere/something else.. Iīve done more damage myself in other ways (falling)
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.
