The sad update
Thank you all so much BUT we had a serious incident last night. George bit my friend Shannon, she went to the hospital and see recieved 9 yes 9 stitches in her hand and wrist. Luckily no tendon or muscle damage. She did absolutely nothing to provoke it she was patting him and he was wiggling around and all of a sudden turned a bit her. Now this is not a person who doesn't know about dogs her mom is the lead Cruelty investigator with the OSPCA. They always have fosters. There was no warning growl either. Now I knew he had an aggression issue with his toys and food but none of these were involved, and Shannon knew about his issues. Her mom said that before we knew how bad the bite was that she was not going to report it but in light of the severity of the bite the hospital called the police. So I called animal control and reported the bite to them and I am know sitting here waiting to here from them as to whether they want to quarantine him or PTS. I am leaning towards the later because first I do not want anybody or myself bit and I don't want anything to happen to my baby Buddy. I spoke to the woman at the rescue and she is tending to agree with me about this. She did disclose all of Georges issues and I said that I would like to try with him because he was going to be PTS because she could not adopt him out to anybody with kids and knowing his issues there was not another choice, but this unprovoked attack I think has sealed this darling little boys fate. I would love your opinions on this because I know that you will not sugar coat it. It is such a shame because he is a really sweet and nice boy and if he would have had a better life he would have been great, I can see he has potential.
