How can people be so cruel? General Dog Discussions
We have just got our second dog. We got him from a family that have had him from a pup for 9 years. They have a 14 month child and their excuse for getting rid of him was that "the child keeps pulling him around". They admitted he'd scratched the kid on the face once, but as my partner and I are the only ones at home we decided to take him before they dumped him at the kennels. He's turned out to be a total sweetheart, and not a nasty bone in his body. He just loves people and although we've been sensible and not overwhelmed him, he's not got a problem with children! How can anyone just get rid of such a loyal family pet?! I just don't think he was cute enough for them anymore. Anyone experienced a similar situation?We actually have him at home now and he's been with us for three weeks. He's 9 years old, so thanks for the warning but he would've shown his nasty side by now if he had one - trust me, I would know, I've had plenty of nasty dogs.ps they had two dogs that have been together all their lives, and just decided to get rid of ours, the second dog that they've kept was really nasty!Thanks for the comments, but Billy has never snapped at or bitten their child, if he had then I would understand it, but he is such a sweet boy and has bonded with both of us
