    Somewhat similar situation here. We tried for more than 4 years with a dog that we got when she was 2 that had been surrendered back to a shelter. Incredibly strong reactive prey drive and crazy high anxiety, and we suspect trauma from her first home. We did everything we could to give her a safe, comfortable, and secure home. Fantastic with kids and most women, could become somewhat more comfortable with men working through a specific process. But if you invade her turf without prework, it wasn’t good. But it was clear she didn’t have a good quality of life and she was a significant risk.

    Working with our vet to eventually put her to sleep was incredibly hard and I still feel like we failed her. We made sure her last days were good ones though, and she went out feeling love.

      Well yes, you killed the dog because it was too much work for you.

        For someone who has no idea the amount of active work, training, and therapy we did with her, you can fuck straight off with your anal-derived opinions and judgements you massive fuckstain.

          Of course I’ll judge someone who took an animal from a shelter then killed it because it was no longer convenient. You’re the same as the person in the news article, just slightly more eloquent.
