Just sayin’:
Anyone who hurts/kills one of my dogs will live to regret it.
So there's not a *single* set of circumstances in which some would be justified in hurting your dog? So if your dog's brain is someday infected with some virus (or someday suffers a head injury that you're unaware of) that causes behavioral changes and,having been made more volatile,he rushes some little toddler walking with her mommy that mother wouldn't,under *any* circumstances,be allowed to draw the little .22 she has in her purse or swing the baseball bat she might be carrying?
