It didn’t need to be put down prior to this incident. It needed an owner who could properly train it.
Much more succinctly put than my post.
But it didn’t have one and now the dog is dead -because- it was owned by an irresponsible idiot.
~This~ is how we get breed-specific legislation; because of idiots who literally bite off more dog than they can chew.
It is my hope that the so-called “owner” is sued until her ears bleed *and* charged with whatever crime is on the books for this type of case.
Her dog’s death was HER fault, alone.
[but it’s -always- the dogs who pay for their owner’s “sins”]
