Kelso, WA - Lug and Marley, German shepherds, are quarantined at the Cowlitz County Humane Society after biting a woman who walked into their home while their owner was away.
The dogs have been labeled "potentially dangerous" and it will be up to a judge to determine their fate - live or die.
It is stunning that these dogs have been impounded. The woman who was "attacked", Elizabeth Elder, walked into the dogs' home - knowing that the owner was not there.
Apparently Elder is a friend of the dogs' owner, Ingrid Sacha.
It seems that Elder took the familiarity which friendship offered a step too far when she entered Sacha's home in November, even though her friend was not there.
The dogs bit Elder on the legs, hands and face - enough that she required stitches. Elder believes that the dogs are dangerous and should be destroyed.

I’m sure every criminal in America who has ever been bitten by a guard dog when caught trespassing would agree with you.
Your rationale is the same one liberals use against home owners.
Conservatives understand distinctions.
There is a difference between a loose dog biting a child and a dog biting an intruder.
There is a difference between a man who shoots up a school and a man who shoots an intruder into his home.
A dogs JOB is to BITE or ATTACK those who INTRUDE where they do NOT belong.
If we kill the dog for doing it's JOB, then why have one at all?
Why have locks on the door? Why have keys? Why have personal protection for anything anymore?
These Sheps were doing what they were SUPPOSED to do.
And no, not too many junkyard owners “destroy” the dog for keeping out intruders...the way they are supposed to with bark, and with BITE.
German Shepherds are not the kind of dog quick to make friends with strangers.
They bond with one person. If you want a dog that slobbers over everyone, a German Shepherd isn’t your dog.
