JC, I think you and Bella did the right thing. Sometimes, hard as it is for me to say this, it's the best option. A dog that large and strong who is "wired wrong" as Glacier said (and I agree with her), would just be a serious danger to the public. Yes, there was a chance that he could have been rehomed, but what if that home didn't work out? What if the people in that home weren't honest about his animal aggression when they then surrendered him? What if they really couldn't handle him or treated him wrong and his aggression turned to humans?

I'm so sorry you had to make this decision and I hope Charlie heals quickly and without infection.

I'm sorry you all had to go through this.
