According to a news release, the boy stuck his left hand through the slots in the cage attempting to pet the dog. The dog bit him, completely severing his pinky finger and possibly breaking his forearm. Deputies said the boy's father removed the dog from its cage and shot it multiple times, killing it. The father then removed the finger from the dog's stomach while waiting for paramedics to arrive at the home on the 5200 block of 22nd Street Court East. The boy was was airlifted to Bayfront Center in St. Petersburg. Deputies said a "preliminary investigation supports the father's accounts of the events, and it appears to be an accident." Manatee County Animal Services personnel removed the dog's remains. http://www.baynews9.com/content/news/baynews9/news/article.html/content/news/articles/bn9/2013/3/30/dad_shoots_dog_retri.html

NYC_SKP (47,893 posts) 5. I figured. So the dog was murdered needlessly.
NYC_SKP (47,893 posts) 9. The idiot father decided a Wolf-Malamute mix as a pet was A-OK.The son lost his pinky finger due to the negligence of the parent. The dog is a victim, IMO.

Nobody knows what that dog was put through in the name of ownership over its life. You have to wonder how much socialization the dog was given. The family never should have owned a dog that they were incapable of handling properly. Yes the humans are at fault and they failed this dog. The boy was more then old enough to know better then to stick his hand in the cage.

I personally find it a ridiculous notion that all the wild has been tamed out of even the most "socialized" of animals.

defacto7 (2,639 posts) 19. Someday I'll get the guts to tell my really difficult dog story.I have raised and bread dogs as a novice for years but I had this one dog that loved me like no other. I just won't go for it now because it is has a pretty bad ending. Not now.
Maraya1969 (9,999 posts) 28. This is for you.
defacto7 (2,639 posts) 36. And you are saying....what? It that a judgement of some sort? I can only go by my post and compare it to yours. If your reply is a judgement, you are making it based on knowing what? I'll make a judgement now based on your level of insight: I'm sorry you are unable to be clairvoyant but you just can't stop trying to read minds. If only people could stick to what they know not what they want to think.
Maraya1969 (9,999 posts) 41. I am not being clairvoyant. You said you have bred dogs. And God knowswe don't need any more damn dog breeders. At least stop for awhile and adopt some.
