Both you and I have known such people, though. They are pet "lovers" when all is well but are not willing to assist an elderly dog or a dog with medical problems.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-23758109836492183532011-05-02T18:01:12.640-04:002011-05-02T18:01:12.640-04:00Well, God has blessed her to have you..she is a be...Well, God has blessed her to have you..she is a beauty! :DJulie Harwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05246850029056713294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-59459803055116719672011-05-02T17:57:16.701-04:002011-05-02T17:57:16.701-04:00Sandy, it is my pleasure to meet you!

It is a shame that Sandy’s owners sent her away, when clearly her reaction was just a reaction to pain and being asleep at the time - not an intentional attack. <br /><br />I’m always saddened and annoyed by headline news of “dog attacks child” “vicious dog attack” etc and reading how the dog should be or has been put down, because it’s often not until the end of the article, if at all, answers to three questions that always should be asked first are given. The questions are:<br /><br /> *what was the dog doing at the time?<br /><br /> *what was the child doing at the time? and<br /><br /> *where were the child’s parents (or other adults who could suggest appropriate behaviour around a dog) at the time?<br /><br />I’ve never seen headline news of “child torments and teases dog for ages, tries to ride on its back like it was a horse and pull it’s ears and only then was then bitten” instead the media here always prefers to blame the dog and ignore the parents that let their child behave inappropriately. Only very rarely is the dog the reason why the incident happened, so for Sandy, although her owners no longer want her, I am thankful that she was not put down and that there are kind people like you and your family for her.The Life of Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042517508689233894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-82504781513096007522011-05-02T16:26:53.645-04:002011-05-02T16:26:53.645-04:00how many labs have you got now my friend?how many labs have you got now my friend?John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-25781295688561648802011-05-02T16:22:09.645-04:002011-05-02T16:22:09.645-04:00Oh, what a face, love her already!
