"Are rescue dogs risky?" on the Wright stuff

[giraffesCantGoGuising]

From the story of the poor little girl killed by her pet dog. Very very sad.

I always thought rescue dogs were very very well checked and approved with different families on the basis of their needs. I am not sure if it was a charity that re homed the dog in the story though? So I hope there is not a general backlash against general reputable rescue dog charities.

What's happened is totally awful for the family but sadly preventable.

^ This sums it up really
- it's like when toddlers drown in their own bath/paddling pool /pond because no one was watching them for a minute or 2 - that's all it takes!
