| Bad situation. I've never been in that position and pray to God I never am. Although Bella has 'issues' and as some of you know Sooner isn't dog friendly while on lead (off lead at home he's a total different dog), I have accepted these things into our home and deal with them as necessary.
I'm not about to say post haste that I would euthanize one of them, there would need to be a broader spectrum to look at. Although with a prior bite history they must have had some insight.
The other owner, I can only imagine the terror she went through watching this and knowing not to get into it (I don't know that I would have been that smart).
My sister had a Rottweiler, a good dog, well trained, but they spent a lot of time in a fenced area away from the house. This dog killed (dismembered, the whole enchilada) a cat that had the misfortune to come through the fenced area. She got rid of the dog, because she couldn't deal with the fact that it might happen again, also because she had indoor cats that the dog had been around.
She found the dog a new home with someone who would have the dog more of an indoor/outside some type of pet, with no cats of their own.
Like I said, I just pray I never am put in that situation.
