I'm sure it was a difficult decision....I'm an animal lover through and through; but, if I thought one of my dogs would harm my 18 month old baby and I tried everything under the sun.....then, as sad as it would be for me...I would put my puppy down. I had to do it once with a stray....we cured him of heart worm....we spent thousands on fixing the broken jaw he had when some idiot hit him with a car...we took him in when no one else wanted him....a beautiful lab/retriever mix....and then he attacked one of my other dogs...because he thought he was protecting me during play time.....we have little shih tzus...and this poor baby just couldn't help himself....I have fourteen stitches and a weak left hand because of what happened with this dog....we tried everything to save him and nothing worked.

The food dish....he protected it from all of the other dogs...we tried separating...we tried behavioural training...we spent so much money, we went without just to save this gorgeous dog that someone else through away......and still, he couldn't be saved. He went after my husband and that was that. Our vet, who was one of the best pro life animal activists I've ever met, walked us through the hardest decision we've ever made...and that was to euthanise....we consulted, we looked things up...we did everything and it broke our hearts.....to do this to an animal who never got a decent break in life....but, the thought of having him kill another human or animal was unacceptable, too.

We were caught between a rock and a hard place, for sure....to this day, it makes me sad that it came down to death for Fang......I don't regret the decision. It saddens me...I wish it didn't have to happen...I've been an animal lover all my life and I do understand that people feel strongly about these things...

But to imply that you're a killer because you didn't post all the gory details..well, it just doesn't seem right.
