Re: [PyrNet-L] Biting Pyr

[Adrienne Wilder <draggon@STC.Net>]

Sothing Joe said keeps sticking in my head....we were not there.
Then somehting some one else said, about relying on the memory of two 
small girls.  The parent was not there to see it first hand and the 
parent can only interperate.  The person wrinting about the story 
interperates again what the parent said....now we have, what?, a fourth 
of fifth hand rendition.
We'll never know what *truly* happened and that is horrible.  

Euthinasia is probably the only *safe* solution.  It is by no means the 
answer, because someone has already been hurt.  I have to wonder, is the 
parent really sure that the dog has never shown aggressive tendancies 
before?  Some people give slack to the dog who growls at the food bowl, 
or over a bone, ect.....things that can be warning signs.  Also, has the 
parent contacted the breeder?  Is there any known history on the sire 
and dam?  Genetics can say alot sometimes...  

In the end...we'll still never know. What I can't get over, is that the 
pyr did not bark....what pyr doesn't bark at a strange noise....

I wish we had the whole story....if only dogs could talk.
