280. Excellent post (again).

You've had infinite patience in outlining the realities of a bad situation. It's obvious (well, evidently not to some) that you have an understanding of the situation that doesn't preclude sympathy, but lays out all the realities in a quietly objective manner. Yesterday I watched attitudes slowly come round to accepting that the dog's well-being was a valid consideration, after having been mocked in the thread previous, and most everyone came to see that surrendering the dog to eventual adoption was the best option, sad but necessary. Also, with more information about the Akita breed, most everyone acknowledges that there's a potential for danger, now that the dog has been removed from the rescue facility, and is back with a troubled owner who cannot care for him properly. Your posts have been instrumental in helping people understand that.
