Damon changed the story on the dog several times. Why?
Perhaps because he didn't want to really tell the truth. Perhaps the reason the dog appeared "quiet,docile,shy,scared" is the Damon debarked the dog. How? Kick it in the face every time it barks. He wouldn't do this. NO? Well, There was testimony in the PH (I went back and looked it up) that the dog had a nosebleed cause it 'ran into' Damon's leg.
Sick. But makes sense. I have a gut feeling that Damon isn't the kind hearted sweetie pie hubby he attempts to portray.
