Know a chap who worked in a shelter, gov one, the dog was in because it was loose, and a possible dangerous dog breed. (Oz)
Wasn't even scheduled to be put down, nothing like it, owner and a buddy turned up and assaulted staff to attempt to free their dog.
A breakout attempt......what the?
Fortunately, they got seriously owned by said ex-mil and security staff.
I have so many dog stories, it's just not funny.
The typical exchange with a dog owner, is ;
moi-"Your dog/dogs just did this"
Owner-"No they didn't . Fido would never do that".
moi-"Well they just did, kill the neighbors sheep, maul a child, bite me, try and drag me down and kill me/pick one of the above", I've been through all iterations.
Owner-thats impossible, Fido (and playbuddies) were tied up all night/and they have been trained."
moi-Ugh. "So the fact that my jeans are ripped, and can identify your dogs/dogs, or your dog was shot by a farmer in a sheep massacre by stray dog packs, even with a lousy dog tag, has nothing to do with your responsiblity as a pet owner."
Owner-"Fido wouldn't do that he's a good dog. "
Too bad about the dog in question, it's tragic, but if nobody thinks at the very least compulsory obedience training ought to be signed on to as requirement for pet ownership, well you don't know how I would manage the situation.
