214. You and your ex did an amazing job for Yoshi

I know enough about the Akita breed to know unlike some breeds, very special care has to be made as to who owns one and where they live. They have a high prey drive, are very loyal, and are guard dogs. Those things make placement in another home very difficult.


You and your ex did the best thing for your family, you did your best to help TTW in a very difficult situation and more importantly and I cannot stress this enough - you did the best for Yoshi. He needed to be an environment that was safe for him, with people who know how to care for an Akita and to live his best life.

Our dogs and cat are everything to us. We don't go anywhere on vacation if they can't come with, we cannot imagine a day without them. I can only imagine how hard this must be for TTW to lose everything and have to part with Yoshi.

That said, your last update really saddened me. I know TTW was acting out of love but sadly I cannot see any good coming out of taking Yoshi from the rescue - he needs a stable and safe home. I truly hope it works out. And by not seeing any good, I mean I am worried that due to the stress TTW is under (which is understandable) and how it sounds like Yoshi is so in tune with her, I am worried that Yoshi could attack or bite someone.
