Had a dog down the street who attacked a neighbor once, but the cops only gave the owners a warning.

Last summer, same dog got out and attacked two little girls on the sidewalk, sending one to the hospital.  Dog then saw a neighbor and her daughter coming into my house across the street, and came running up our driveway heading straight for that little girl.  I heard them screaming.

My boy Forest, a half lab/half-husky, pushed his way out the door and intercepted that dog before it got to that little girl.  Chased it across the street, but was hit by a car and flung into the air.  Not the driver's fault because those dogs were moving fast.  He was 12 years old, and the best dog I ever had.

A few days later the little girl and her sister came over to our house with flowers and sympathy card for our boy, and said he was their hero.

So yeah, I have zero problems with Noem not giving that dog a second chance.

Let's take a better look at this (what's going on, and why).

Ignore facts... Dog was killing livestock, dog bit owner...

Equate large farm dog with teacup poodle in trendy handbag.

Have fits, establishing false narrative about vicious animal.

Now, sit back and watch as those not smart enough to run a country jump on board over yet another false narrative so they can 'virtue signal'...and don't forget to make it more important than the effing Border. Burn up those column inches and news cycle minutes while ignoring other issues, because, after all, this IS an election year, and anyone formidable enough to do what has to be done, no matter how unsavory some find it, MUST be cut from the ticket by any means possible. Have they got you by the emotions yet? --because that's how they roll. Next, Spielberg will put out a movie.

Merde! Wake up, people!


The reality is, that no one from this part of the country (the country) sees taking a dog out under these circumstances as anything but a public service.

Keep in mind I love dogs, have owned many, and currently have a 'rescue' Malinois. But if she bit someone in the absence of very good reason, as much as it would break my heart, it would be the end of her. And if I didn't have the guts to do it, someone else will make sure it happens.

Police 'destroy' animals who attack humans all the time. She has what it takes, and left out the middleman.
