Owners like this one who let their dogs run wild and aggressive and don't care. They are good dogs and I've known a few nice ones, but the sad thing is that there are so many people who don't take the time to train them.J.Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211819677106829508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029299587784890117.post-26596813706668795532012-11-21T04:39:55.104-08:002012-11-21T04:39:55.104-08:00Oh my.

It infuriates me that some people are so irresponsible. My pit is a very loving, docile baby. BUT, I would NEVER have more than 1 at a time, and I would NEVER have one that I didn't raise from a puppy. My heart goes out to the family. I hope they throw the book at that owner.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533317405680450964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029299587784890117.post-76558919743340476992012-11-20T19:06:51.955-08:002012-11-20T19:06:51.955-08:00Oh every time I think about Tank I wind up sobbing...Oh every time I think about Tank I wind up sobbing.

I just cried my eyes out...I was not expecting that. I just cried my eyes out. How absolutely awful.<br /><br />I had to let my Scooby go at 13.5 years. It was a dire situation, she was in pain, and no vet offices were open. I tripled her pain meds and made the decision to let her go the next day, even though my husband was in China. It's selfish and cruel to allow the animal to suffer when they are RELYING on us humans to let them go or put them down. Poor Tank couldn't slink into the woods.<br /><br />I'm thankful that you had a kind heart and a loving attitude towards him. That you pet him in his time of need, when he was so hurt and desperate. <br /><br />I'm pissed that the owners discontinued the pain meds. That is where they went wrong - it was not the right decision in light of the female owner not allowing him to be euthanized quickly once they had made the decision. The poor little fellow. What a horrible end.<br /><br />Thanks for petting him. Thanks for being there. I'm sure he appreciated it, too. And I'm crying again.<br /><br />I'm all for good pit bulls. Good ANY breed of dog. It's the irresponsible asshole owners who are to blame - train your dogs, keep them enclosed, respect the safety of the other people around you. Clearly their 5 dogs aren't being trained and have probably taken on pack mentality.<br /><br />That woman should be afraid for her kids. Just like any other shitty owner with aggressive, dangerous dog(s). <br /><br />Poor Tank.StephanieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990131434281226939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029299587784890117.post-46047320127909609522012-11-19T07:25:29.183-08:002012-11-19T07:25:29.183-08:00I concur, understand I'm not bashing pit bulls...I concur, understand I'm not bashing pit bulls.

Idiotic morons like that are what cause the breed to have such a bad reputation in the first place.

I was also upset that the wife chose to wait until she could get ahold of her husband while he worked out of town. You can't see a wound like that and think they are not in pain.

Our corgi has had some scary things happen to him that have resulted in emergent visits to the vet (low blood sugar, high blood sugar, pneumonia). Each time hubby has taken him to the vet (hubby has a better work schedule than I do) I told him specifically that if the doctor recommended that Koda be put down because he was in so much misery/pain that I would want to be there, but if I could not be there because of my work schedule and he would be in a lot of pain until I could get there, I wanted hubby to go forward with it to save Koda pain and suffering. We specifically talked about these issues too before we even agreed to get him as a puppy and each time hubby has left in a dire situation to take Koda to the vet, I have said goodbye to him wondering if I would see him again or not. This makes me just a bit upset with the owners, although I know they were suffering in their own way with losing a loved pet.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029299587784890117.post-59380137867825884212012-11-18T14:16:14.795-08:002012-11-18T14:16:14.795-08:00Oh poor Tank; what a sad story; I am glad he is ou...Oh poor Tank; what a sad story; I am glad he is out of his misery, but definitely such a sad horrific way to die. I do hope the owners press charges.
