When I was a kid, my brother and I would always have Zipper (our dog) with us where ever we would go. We had a chicken farm near our house and took Zipper with us to check out the chickens. My brother foolishly opened the gate to the 1000 chickens and Zipper raced in, killing chickens as fast as he could. With the gate open, Zipper chased half the chickens out. We had dead chickens and chickens all over the neighborhood.
When my dad found a chicken in our bathroom he suspected something was wrong with our neighbor’s chickens. He went over to the chicken farm and found a very angry farmer. If he could he would have shot our dog with his gun.
My dad went all over the neighborhood, collecting chickens and returning them to the farm. It took two days to get only 50 of the chickens back. He had to pay for the rest. If my brother hadn’t taken the blame for opening the gate, my dad would have shot Zipper. That is how things happen in very rural areas.
I can imagine all the commentary on here if the dog was a guard dog pit bull. Everyone would be applauding her as a hero for doing what needed to be done. That dog, from the description of the events, was more dangerous than a well cared for pit.
