It doesn't have to be a large powerful dog either to do allot of damage.
Euthinasia was not the first thought in my head - finding out why and if
it was fixable(maybe with allot of work) was, when I was dealing with 28
lbs of nasty that would turn into 28 lbs of sweetness like one turned a
switch on and off. This dog was a case of poor genetics and had an
incurable problem that only got worse. Now, the point of all this - my
legs show what can happen while one is trying to find a cause and a
potential fix, if this were a Pyr(smallest one at my house 95 lbs, not
including puppies) I wouldn't have done as much of the testing, I
wouldn't have even kept a Pyr like that in my house. I have kids and I
know what damage the little guy did to me, one has to choose sometimes
and what quality of life would an animal have that one couldn't trust,
couldn't have human contact and couldn't beloved.
