Turns out there might be good reasons for something like that... next time I'll read before posting. :)
Thanks for helping me out.
A good friend of mine had a stipulation in her will regarding her Dobermann.
She knew that he was a menace to anyone else and he’d be put down, if she died.
Luckily, she outlived him.
To this day, she will not have another Dobe because his death crushed her and she can barely stand to even look at Dobes.
