My son went to pet her, she snapped.

That was it. She does that. Sometimes she'd want a tummy rub, other times she'd growl.

I don't give a rat's ass what Alex thinks, frankly. Hurting my child (she drew blood, after all) is a death sentence.

The notion that I treat animals as disposable is absurd. My previous dog I had for 15 years (including some time we bought with intra-lesional chemotherapy). I'd have paid any amount of money to keep her alive indefinitely had it been possible. We spent a small fortune on a cat who is now paraplegic (and still dragging herself around the house). I should add that last week the kids left the door to downstairs open for a second, and the dog ran down and had to be yanked off the cat by my wife (mouth to neck). Ever had a kid not close a door? One mistake, and they'd get to watch their cat get murdered in front of them.

A pet that is dangerous to children?

The pound said they'd look for an owner (no kids), but face it, there are many more dogs at the pound than owners right now. Why not let a dog that is NOT dangerous have a crack at an owner, instead of a known problem diluting the pool.
