you are right Tari, As a mother of two small children 8 & 4...............i
keep nothing around here that would even look at my children cross eyed. The
first sign of agression towards her or her family from those dogs should
have signaled to her something was wrong and she should have put them to
sleep. I have no tolerance for a non-trustworthy animal of any breed. There
are far too many great animals around to keep anything questionable.
My thoughts .......she had a freakin screw loose!!
