Dog dies 4 days after pit bull mauling

[KurtNYC]

49. This what at a dog park and there was a maintenace crew in the parking lot

EMS was called. I went to ER. My dogs went to our vet. Cops called her vet because she had no tags for the dog. The vets office was NOT surprised by the call.

Her attitude was the root of the problem. Caring and wanting to help a dog with a second chance. I get that. But over confident and in denial is a recipe for disaster. Basically like an enabler in alcoholism who stays in an abusive relationship while empathizing with the abuser. I think it is more conscious denial, never blaming or correcting the dog, than just being stupid. Relating to and feeling sorry for the dog, thinking it was abused and then excusing its behavior on that basis.

When the cop came her dog was in her car and that's when she told me "you didn't meet the real Gus" and she motions toward the car and the dog goes off! Barking, snapping, hammering the window glass with its paw. The cop looked at me and then read her the riot act.

It's great that she thinks she is Cesar Milan and wants to help a dog but I didn't sign up for that stuff. Let her "be the pack leader" at home until she knows the dog better, I think.
