Ok so gonna rant a minute.
Well this weekend my dog bit the next door neighbor kid. Me and my wife were gone and the kid game over at night and rang the doorbell My Mother in law opened the door and bam the dog got the kid. Bad situation. I think the dog was just doing the protective thing, I mean my 3 year old rides him around like a horse. At the same time I am going to have to get rid of him or put him down, can't risk it happening again. Even using the utmost precautions you can't ever guarantee he would never get out. My two boys are pretty devastated about it. My oldest thinks it is his fault, by his reasoning that if he would have been in the front room at the time it wouldn't have happened. Anyways just wanted to vent out for a minute.

Are the parents threatening lawsuit? No, at least not at this time. It wasn't to terrible of a bite (if there is such a thing), kid had to get 3 stitches. Our boys are pretty good friends and spend a lot of time together, plus I have taught both of the daughters. They seem like pretty good people. We already offered to pay any medical expenses. However they went to the Indian Hospital so he doesn't seem to think there will be any. He actually called me and gave me heads up about the sheriff coming cause the hospital called them. I already told them I would be getting rid of the dog, so I think they are happy with that decision. |

My grandad had a Dalmatian when my sister and I were around 5 and 8 yrs old. My sister (5), stepped on his paw on accident as she walked through the kitchen, he bit her on the forearm, and I think she had a few stitches. Grandpa, immediately grabbed the dog by the collar, drug him behind the barn, and next then we heard was BOOM! no more dog.

He just doesn't like people that are not family. My 3 year old rides on him, pulls his tail, chases him around and he has never so much as growled at him. I never thought he would bite someone unless they got him cornered. I really think it was night and noise outside (they were having a birthday part bon fire outside), so I think he thought he was protecting the house. If I can't find a rescue I am going to have to put him down. I just can't take that risk with him. |

Of course glad I didn't cause I have to quarantine him for 10 days. |

We have a yellow lab and a golden retriever. I fully understand how dogs become part of the family. I'm fairly certain my wife would rather me be put down than either one of our dogs.
