Zarek was the best damn family protector one could ever have, great with kids, great with family and great with recognized friends of the family.
But boy, when it came to other dogs, Zarek was a major Alpha dog and all he wanted to do was fight.......

We once had a Chow Chow, who,at twelve weeks old, attacked our adult black Lab. Merly -- short for Merlin --once got out of the house and attacked a St. Bernard.
He was aggressive around people. We tried everything, training, doggie antidepressants, etc; three different vets said we should put him down.
He then snapped at my son, eighteen months at the time.
When I was flying to Chicago for my Mom's funeral, I had to get kennel shots. I gave our Lab the bordatella ... but I chose a different shot for Merly
I held him as he passed. One of the hardest things ever. But I had a little boy. I think my Mom wanted me to protect my son.
