Pic: I am a forever dog

[Jennicut]

80. I did adopt a rescue dog.

It was two years ago. Jake was a beautiful black lab and I really wanted to keep him. He was an abused dog and was told his previous owner hit him, which is terrible. Unfortunately, he became aggressive. I couldn't walk him down the street as he was very aggressive with other dogs and sometimes people. He growled at my daughters who were only 4 and 5 and then one day he charged my 5 year old and almost bit her but my husband stopped him. We eventually had to give him back to the shelter and he got some training and help. He was adopted out again and then ended up biting his next owner. Jake ended up living back at the shelter as the owner's dog. I guess it is better then being put down. If it was just me and I felt I could control him I would have kept him. It really is terrible the way people just don't even think about abusing an animal. I tried again with a rescued cat and that worked out great and my red tabby Daisy is totally a part of the family.
