Beautiful prayer, thank you for the kind words of wisdom. Great to hear from you, kisses to Bella.

We adopted a dog when my son was 4. We had to return him within a week. When I took him to the vet for a check up, he had restraint aggression. As soon as they tried to hold him in a hug type position to take his temperature, he went into full Cujo mode. I had to leave to room as well as my son. It was scary and heartbreaking. But the worst part was when I returned him, the shelter didn’t believe me. I only wanted them to know the dog shouldn’t be in a home with small children.

I can understand not wanting a dog that is prone to attacking, especially with children around. I won't have a pit bull. Would make me too uneasy. Got a rescue dog awhile back that was about 5 yr old. Mixed terrier. He did not want to be touched and would do anything to stay away from people. Took a few years before he settled down. I despise people who abuse dogs. Dogs are one of the greatest gifts on earth, imvho.
