If dogs aren’t mans’ best friend, they don’t belong.
My dad (lifetime law enforcement) was always a German Shepherd owner and he always said that he would never keep a dog that would ever bite someone indiscriminately. And if it did, he would put it down immediately.
True to his word, the week prior to the last time our family was scheduled to head north to mom and dad's cottage in northern Michigan for Memorial Day weekend, he assigned me the task of taking Zarek to the Vet to be put down. Zarek was old and was suffering from hip displasia which is all too common in shepherds and dad didn't want to risk him biting one of the grandkids who would ultimately pat him on his hind quarters..........A tough decision to make but one what was necessary.
