Responses like this are insufferable. No. They found a home for the dog. Just take two seconds to check the blog this is from rather than being judgmental and callous. Also a dog putting their child at risk is not a simple “inconvenience”. You truly outed yourself with that line alone.

We have seen enough cases of people keeping high prey drive pets around kids resulting in deaths for both the pet and kids. Or even elders. Or even fit adults. Do yall really wanna insist on pushing for that or risk the baby’s life after all attempted interventions have failed? Life isn’t black and white, and the sooner you folks realize that the better off you’ll be.

Learn some humanity.

Hey, kind of a long shot but figured it never hurts to ask:

Do any of my followers live or know someone in Oakland, CA who’s looking for a dog? Our friend Richard and his wife just had a baby and they’ve tried so hard but the new baby and dog are just not compatible.

He’s about nine, very high energy and affectionate. Not a good fit with kids or cats as he’s pretty high prey drive but very friendly and well socialized otherwise.

Here’s Milo

Shoot me a DM if interested. They’d love to be able to see him sometimes if you’d also like to make friends with some cool nerds.

#so many judgmental people and it’s boggling my mind #as much as I’m intensely you get an animal and it’s for life type person #I also worked in vet med #I’m also aware of how sometimes training and meds and all the effort in the world don’t always work #love isn’t always enough #and seeing it happen real time with clients and patients is the worst #it is so painful for people but there is no easy solution #locking the dog away from the baby will only be neglectful to the dog and still pose risks #after trying meds/training/vet work and continuing to try will pose more and more risks to family and the baby #it is an awful situation but there is no easy answer and I am so sick of folks with no experience with stuff like this insisting otherwise #I’ve seen owners get torn up again and again and again with family members put at risk because something just changes #sometimes there’s an answer in the enviroment that can be altered but sometimes there’s not #they’re animals with instincts and anything can set those instincts off #having to make the hard choices does not mean they suddenly hate their beloved pet #have seen torn up scarred up owners sobbing hysterically at behavioral euths after every other intervention failed #it fucking SUCKS. it’s not desired. but sometimes it is just too dangerous. these are animals and anthropomorphizing helps no one #I would give ANYTHING for it to be easier to know what’s going on. easier to help. but that isn’t reality even with human beings
