Well, Phred, the dog may not have been a wuss....

Decades ago, we had a neighbor who had a German Shepherd that was so mean and viscious he was eventually given to the Air Force (we lived on base, and he was so dangerous it was either that or have him put down). One day Jane came to the door with Rocky on a leash. In the meantime, our Siamese had just had kittens. When Sammy sensed Rocky, she dashed from upstairs and flew at Rocky before my mom or Jane even saw her and proceeded to shred Rocky's face!

As far as Mr. Panic Attack and his $1.5 million - it really bugs me that people who are able-bodied are able to get these assistance dogs when there are still blind, legless, deaf, etc. people who are on waiting lists. I also don't see how he suffered any pain when it was his dog that was scratched. Oh, well.
