you did not have to tell that story and I recommend you refrain from repeating it to anyone if you want to preserve your dad’s facade as a decent human being.
Poor dog had probably been abused from someone equally as kind to dogs as your dad, and the dog’s fear was absolutely borne out by your dad’s crude reaction.
I know farm people view animals differently, but this story makes me think your dad was a dangerous man.
Lord a mercy, get a grip.
The dog bit him.
My father was as fine a man as you could ask to meet,
but he didn’t suffer insolence and the dog crossed
the line of social behaviour.
If it had been a man, he would have killed him
with no regrets as he did during the war.
Sorry you can’t deal with it.
My how the cultures as changed. Your view point is the odd one to me.....................
Gen 9:5 “And I will require the blood of anyone who takes another person’s life. If a wild animal kills a person, it must die. And anyone who murders a fellow human must die.
Gen 9:6 If anyone takes a human life, that person’s life will also be taken by human hands. For God made human beings in His own image.
