Staffs are such sweet dogs! We have an awesome amstaff mix at the shelter where I volunteer named Bocephus.

IMO that owner shouldn't have been beating that dog over the swan. It's called instinct and it's not the dog's fault it has a high prey drive. however, I am NOT saying I'd let my dog kill any animal whether it's a swan or a squirrel. there are better ways of handling the situation than beating YOUR dog to death if the dog attacks another animal. there is special pepper spray for dogs for that reason. better than beating the living hell out of the dog IMO. I would never beat my dogs over that, I would use the pepper spray that they make for dogs. I cannot believe a few of you would beat your dog if the dog attacked an animal.
