I've posted about her on here before, maybe under a different username, I don't know.
We took her on from a friend of a friend, she's 5 years old. We've had her for four years. She's always had issues with other dogs and has bitten myself and my partner before when encountering other dogs, we always muzzle her when out now. It's difficult but we love her so we have been handling it.
We've been to obedience classes over the years. Had a behaviourist. Lots of training.
She bit my 2 year old this morning. Completely out of the blue. My daughter didn't even go near her, she just lunged and bit her on the elbow. Luckily it wasn't a serious bite and my daughter is fine.
But I fully understand the dog needs to go now. I'm not prepared to take that risk around my children (I have a 5 month old also).
We took her straight to the vets this morning and discussed it. The vet was so so kind and understanding, but she recommended we go down the euthanasia route.
Battersea have said they would put down also. Other local rescues are full and cannot help.
She's booked in for tomorrow afternoon and I feel sick. Don't really know why I'm posting this, just wanted to vent I guess. We are heartbroken, what a horrible situation. We have tried so hard to help her but don't think we've got anywhere ðŸ˜
