You’ve got to be kidding

This is an ugly story. How this can be the dog’s fault, I’m not sure. And how a judge can call for the dog to be destroyed — given that the dog was reacting (as dogs do) to its puppies and owner being threatened and/or attacked.

My dog, as sweet as she is, would probably not take too kindly to any attack against my wife or me — or any of our family members.

Here is are some rules for contractors:

  1. If there are dogs in the yard, stay in your trucks.
  2. If the owner of the dogs tells you to stay in your truck until he puts the dogs inside,do what he says.
  3. Never hit a puppy or touch the dog’s owner if the mother is around.

These things would seem to be common sense but, then, I’m a dog owner.
