Nothing worked...and believe me, they tried......and are so sad that this was the only outcome.
If you've never been through it.....where nothing works...not doggie prozac or mood elevators or training or psychology...you just run out of alternatives....I have five dogs....and I supported their decision. Every time the door bell rang, these people lived in fear that their dog would attack, because it was intermittent. They tried everything to fix the problem. Even the vet supported the decision to euthanise....
I'm surprised to see these reactions....I really am.

There is a major difference between trying to exhaust all options like above and just giving up on the animal..
I could see if the animal had some sort of distemperish issue that the animal would need to be put down.. But jealousy issues can be easily solved by relocating the animal...
Again I feel bad for her that she had to have this happen to her companion.. We all have our opinions, and thats what makes a free society so great....
