Insanity. Absolute insanity.
My friend has a pit/lab big dog with a loud bark. If I entered their house he’d come over and demand I scratch his ear. She wasn’t a close friend...
Finally had time to really look at this.
There is NO real information hashed out in this “article”.
On the surface, I’d say the dogs were OK. They did what they should do. Although I will comment that not all dogs - and not all German Shepherds - will rip a person up who simply comes in.
But I want to know what was with this woman going into the house? Was she supposed to take care of the dogs? Was she trying to do something for her friend/owner? Does she have an open-door policy with her friends/neighbors (you should go to my sister’s neighborhood; she drives me batty with her turnstile approach to neighbor kids - and yes, she has a German Shepherd)? Or was she actually doing something nefarious, hoping to pilfer a little something that she saw in the house?
Not only my current wimpy dopey GS but my old, almost-fearless guardian GS would “allow” someone in especially if they called to her in her name.
Did this woman do that? Was she expecting the dogs to be penned so didn’t?
There are many holes in this story.
Put the stupid woman down.
Welcome to politically correct Washington State.
Every day the Real America is gradually shrinking.
Washington, Oregon, California, the northeast U.S. (where I sit trapped), Florida, Illinois and Maryland have been taken over by politically correct maniacs.
These dogs should be protected under a Castile Doctrine.
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.
