Today the dog turned on Mrs. Neighbor and drew blood. :eek: The dog has been returned to the shelter.

I feel badly for my neighbors who were given good advice about the dog and ignored it.

And I feel badly for the dog who was adopted by clueless, albeit well intentioned, people.

While I feel much safer with the dog gone, there’s a sadness. Just over a year old and already given up by two owners. Maybe he’ll never be safe to be around, but I hope he gets another chance with an experienced dog owner.
