There's no happy way to read this story.
As to putting the dog down - my mother had a wonderful Old English Sheepdog. He was asleep, and my autistic nephew pounced on him. Kipling bit his nose - OFF. He wasn't mean - he was just being defensive. If he had been a poodle it would have been no problem. My nephew is fine - the nose was reattached and he has a small scar. But the dog had to be put to sleep because we couldn't take the risk of anything happening again.My mother called Sheepdog Rescue - but they couldn't take him because once a dog has bitten someone he is a liability risk.
