i just saw a post about a police dog who attacked a cop for attacking someone. what really pains me is that the dog was most likely put down for protecting someone from a police officer that was most likely abusing their power.
it makes me think of myself from two years ago, and even now if i dont take my meds. if it is illegal for a human to be killed for killing or injuring someone, then the same should be true for dogs.
the poor baby was doing the right thing. the cop was being an aggressor.
i've actually got a little story to tell. my oldest dog, obie, is an american corgi that resource guards and doesn't like being touched unexpectedly. in july, he bit my mom, badly. she was lucky she didn't need stitches. obie was not put down. instead, we gave him an anxiety medication. it worked. he's doing much better now, and is coping reletively well with our new dog, duke.
he is so sweet, and despite the fact that he struggles to control his impulse (a fault of the breeders), with training, he is going to learn how to be the best boy he possibly can be.
