Words from Our Community

“It’s not a right to have a dog, it’s a responsibility”

“I recently had to euthanise a 10‑year‑old dog who had been living with undiagnosed pain. A visiting niece, who wasn’t familiar with the dog’s behaviour, jumped onto the dog’s back, causing the dog to react and bite in pain, resulting in the child being injured.”

“Any dog can be pushed to the point of biting children”
