> [@Baker](#): > > … The thing that pissed me off the most was that the article said how the legal system was looking to see if the family could be put back together. … I don’t know if it was widespread, but some years back the right wing here in the Soviet of Washington was in a lather about “jackbooted thugs” breaking up families on the slightest pretext (presumably so the children could be sent to re-education camps or somesuch). So legislation was duly enacted which mandated that the Department of Social and Health Services make every effort to keep families together. Predictably, some time later a child died after being reunited with his family. Also predictably, DSHS and the caseworkers who had protested the reunification were raked over the coals.

The problem is that when things like this happen and people say, “That’s horrible-_We/I_ would have taken them in!”, it is almost never followed up by those same people going down and taking in other kids that have the shared misfortune of not having been featured on television or the internet. ---

If the guy can’t get along with a therapy dog, that’s pretty bad. I wonder if the dog is able to put the bad reaction in context or if the dog now has PTSD. ---

The dog seems OK, mostly. It was a small dog and a hard slap; the news piece in the YouTube video calls it a slap, but it was violent enough that CBS referred to it as a punch (you can read about it here, no video): > **[Michigan inmate charged with punching therapy dog in Genesee County Jail](https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/michigan-inmate-charged-attacking-therapy-dog/)** > > A Michigan inmate is charged after authorities say he punched a 13-month-old therapy dog while in the Genesee County Jail. ---

Make it fair. I suspect he weighs 4-5 times as much as that dog. We need to find a REALLY big guy to slap him. ---

First of all, I think what the inmate did was horrible and he should be prosecuted for it. But it strikes me as a bad idea to let a therapy dog just wander up to people without asking if they actually want to see the dog. My MIL did not like dogs. When she was in hospice 2 years ago dying of cancer, someone brought a therapy dog into the facility. They just walked into her room and brought the dog right to her bed without asking her or her daughter if she wanted to see the dog. She freaked out - she was in a semi-conscious state, so having a dog unexpectedly stick its face into hers was not a good experience at all. The person with the dog pulled the dog back, but even then tried to stay in the room so my MIL “could enjoy her company”. My wife had to tell her just to leave. ---

Yeah, there is this “doggos fix everything” thing going on. I had a minor Twitter encounter with someone wondering why daycares don’t have dogs - I pointed out that there are people with allergies and phobias.
