Animal Cops

I must agree with you to a point. The methods they used were Sue Sternburgs testing methods which do not give an animal any time to settle in. The testing is done almost right away & is brutal. It is really set up for the dog to fail. It is all about numbers & $$ from Maddies Fund. However the likelyhood of finding a home that is competant or capable of handling such a dog is slim. This is the problem with 3/4 of the dogs out there now. They have NO training. Also, the probablility of finding a home with no contact with children is about nil - neighbors, friends/relatives that would visit all may have children!

Life is full of stressful situations, and if the dog panics in them and bites, it's a dangerous dog. Even if the dog DOES go to people who understand the issue, it is not 100% safe. Someone could come over, not know the dog is food agressive, and get bitten if they try and touch the dog while it eats. And as I said, my dad's daschund started with the food agression, and then began getting agressive about his toys too. Pick up his ball to play fetch and he would bite you and draw blood.

Well I'm sure they could've found someone or a couple who would be responsible enough to take care of this. I mean come on it's a starving dog for crying out loud, as I said I'd warn you to back off too. This dog was good at everything else they even squirted that medicine up his nose and he took it like a champ so he wouldn't have just bitten someone for the sake of biting. He was cuddly and friendly and playful so he could have been a great dog for someone but like I said it's sad when they don't give him the benefit of the doubt and just put him too sleep.
