Which means other people don't take you seriously. If you really felt the way you say you do, you'd stick to helping (full credit to you for posting the link to contact info for those who want to help the poor dog and the adorable, if slightly dumb family). Instead, you spend most of your energy haranguing those who fail to meet your standards for properly noselifted propriety. Well, you can either get used to the fact that people joke about the macabre as a way to come to grips with bad things over which they have no real control, or you can keep clenching your teeth and shouting through them until you have a stroke.

Any idea which one it is, or what mix it is? A neighbor of mine had two rottweillers. After they grew up (a lot) the woman found she could not control them. They attacked another neighbor's dog and tore it to pieces. Only then did she get rid of them. It was a good thing that a child wasn't their victim. I don't agree with shooting a dog in front of its owners, or any children. But a vicious dog has no "right" to run free. The authorities should have produced a court order, seized the dog and held it for observation. If proven to be agressive, them put down via lethal injection.

Humor infusions are available now, ask your doctor about them at your next visit!

You may also want to talk to your doctor about irony, sympathy, and anger management.

But attempting to destroy the dog absent a court order when not in active defense of a person or other animal, is illegal.

The officer should be disciplined, and the dog’s owner should be filing suit.
