Apparently. The dog was doing as commanded.
Sad for the dog.
They obey us always, often to their own death.
:(
I wish...my dog has the demeanor of a Chesapeake. (some claim a 2x4 is sometimes required for proper training)
She would, however, quickly return if I went down for any reason.
You know what I meant.
Both of my Dobes [well, the girl, in particular] are hard-headed beasts.
That’s part of their mindset, however, and one of the reasons why they fell out of favor with law enforcement.
An independently minded dog will sometimes say “Oh, hell no. I might get hurt.” and decide your command was a stupid idea.
:)
I believe that ranchers and farmers have a great deal of respect for life. They have a much closer view of life and death than most of us. I am aware, but only vaguely, where my beef slices come from.
And, OK, I give up - where, exactly, did the dog bite you when you were arrested?
Dogs know people with a very good track record.
If you see a loose dog you should run (or shoot), 'cause they likely have your number.
No.
I have known people who were bitten by police dogs simply because they have a fear of dogs and the training of the dogs is insufficient for them to distinguish between a fleeing criminal, and a bystander with a phobia of dogs who runs instictively. Police dog bites can tear up someone who is frightened and trying to get free.
A police dog is like a rifle without even iron sites on it.
Some are better than others but at the end of the day they should only be used for locating things or in situations where innocent bystanders are not even a possibility.
And, Human life is so precious that God took on human form to die for humanity. That should never, ever be cheapened by attempting to raise the value of a mere animal to that of a human being.
Dogs never fail to love me up...even when their thug owner assures me they’re ‘bad ass killers’.
;]
You REALLY are a jerk.
these dogs save many lives in combat...try telling our combat soldiers they are “hippy treehugger types’ cause they respect and value their dogs!
hey, why don’t you go face to face with a combat soldier who has had their lives saved by a a “dog”..and tell them your arrogant, self-righteous,” intellectual” snide comments..instead of on the internet safe from your sofa.
Oh, you are so correct, like the Pharasees who spouted the law, but did not have compassion in their hearts.
go ahead, flame away...you’ve got all the words, all the correct arguments.
^this^
great....better than my puny comments. ha.
LOL!! perfect repsonse.
Bet he won’t.
It’s not safe and cozy like FR.
No mods to bail you out.
Ha...I think these types are one-trick ponies...and of course, very “righteous”.
LOL, I wanted to say that I hoped he got bit in the butt.
Even my generally (publicly), at first, "aggressive" dog can be an instant sweetheart when approached by a true dog lady. I never cease to be amazed.
Treats help.
paybacks are hell...ha.
