The dog was obviously a Syrian refugee.
Hence the apparent divorce?
Given that the guy wasn’t a novice with dogs, it sounds like the shelter has a problem.
There is always a delicious irony associated with an extreme animal lover being killed or eaten by the very animal he loves to the extreme. (Now forgive me Lord.)
That is a sad story and scary too. I’m a cat person, but if I were to adopt a dog some breeds I would not consider, especially if they are adults.
He bit the hand that feed him....and his face, neck, head, arms, legs and .....
The problem with powerful dogs like these is, when they get angry, as any dog does on occasion, they can do serious damage. Then, some breeds are bred to be especially aggressive, although it’s clear that, if properly trained and cared for, they can still make excellent house pets.
Someone screwed up real bad to let that dog back out into general circulation.
Maybe “animal lover” was too accurate a description?
Pit Bulls and Rotties combined make up something like 90% of all fatal dog attacks.
My guy really wants a rottie, but that’s not happening, so we compromised. We currently have 4 chihuahuas, all shelter rescues.
I think Obama needs a new dog.
Unless this shelter had this dog for only a few hours, they should have noticed the behavior traits, placed him under surveillance and then once the tendency was confirmed, he should have been destroyed. The county will be writing a big check.
We use to call them junk yard dogs. I would take the dog. Out to the woods and make it quick and painless. No breeding for you.
A grown dog we were fostering killed one of my cats. That was the end of fostering. When we recently decided to get another dog we opted for a puppy we can raise as we choose and for a breed that is known for its even temperament.
In like to foster again but we have to spend too much time away and have too many physically compromise family members to do a proper job.
my two current dogs are rescues a Pomeranian and jack rustle mix. one I found wandering around lose and the other was given to me after being found loose on the streets. before theses two I had gotten one from the county shelter.one month after getting it the dog Attacked my room mate took a chunk of flesh off his hind leg. there was no warning one moment the dogs tail was waging and he was being petted then My roommate turned and started to walk away and was attacked. I took the dog back to the Shelter and only found out then that the dog had been turned in for being aggressive 3 times before this...When ever you get a stray or rescue watch the dog because you really don’t know its history and like people there are good dogs and bad dogs and there behavior is pretty much dictated by there experience with there privies owners and that can turn any dog into bad dog dangerous to be around.
Idiots glorify and idealize animals, raising them over people to noble creatures.
I’ll stick to wiener dogs, thank you.
Not all of course, but just like radical islamists, it only takes one to kill and maim.
Smaller, older rescue dogs are just as unpredictable, just not as likely to kill a human.
The new/hot thing it the ghetto.
