You guys know I love dogs. Especially Shepard's.
But I have a dark secret for you all.
I was attacked buy a Big White German Shepard once.
And I took some abuse trying to calm him down. But he wasn't having any of that!
Even when I started beating him with the rifle I was carrying, he wouldn't stop!
So finally. I shot that dog right between the eyes. Killed it instantly.
I did not want to do that. But that dog needed shot. Or I was looking at a long hospital visit. With about 1000 stitches. Or maybe even a funeral.
You did exactly what needed to be done!
Another incident when I was 9....Walking to school and out of nowhere I had a large shepherd mix on me..Ripped my coat open. Thank goodness the local mailman was half a block away. The dog ripped my right ear loose, and also bit the top of my head a few times. The mail man sprayed the dog and me with pepper spray. The local Portland neighbord cop was there within minutes and he held me and tried to slow the bleeding from my head. I remember he took his coat off and the mailman had cut part of it off to wrap around my head..
I had to be hauled away in an ambulance..
Cops came and looked for the owners of the dog, and where it lived...Nope it had ran off.
I always had to walk to school and avoided that route for a few weeks. But returned to that route when it was raining hard....In the meantime, I was allowed to carry a baseball bat! yahoo but I had to check it into the office when I got to school everyday. And I remember the school custodian walking with me the first few blocks everyday after school. Which was cool of him to do that for me as I was terrified he would return....
And then I saw him, he jumped out of the back of a lawn care truck...And he ran straight for me! I hit him with the bat in the neck.... and he took off under the first porch. I went screaming to the nearest house and called 911
Cops came within a minute and it was the same group of officers that helped me before. I pointed to the porch the dog ran under and the officer grabbed his riot gun from the squad car and went and took care of when needed to be done! yep right there in broad daylight, right off of 14th and Stark.. Boom problem solved.
