Question:

I'd like to thank you for posting the message by Jane Colvin about her aggressive JRT and the final decision she had to make. This past Saturday, October 26, 2002, one of the worst days of my life, my husband and I made the same decision. We rescued Ender as a three year old and worked for 3 years to curb him of his biting and snapping. Finally, we had to admit that his intensity, unpredictability, and strength made him a danger to people. To put a dog to sleep is so hard - to do it when he's healthy and loving and his one fault is from the carelessness of his "breeder" is beyond pain. Anyway, thank you again. It was the right thing to do - but it sure helps to hear how others have had to do the same.
