Just as I've said before...I DISAGREE. This WAS the dog's fault. THE DOG DID IT. Is it also the responsibility of the owner? YES! Is it also the responsibility of the rescue that placed this aggressive dog? YES! But it is ALSO the dog's fault. I do not feel bad about the dog being put to sleep. Some dogs don't DESERVE a second or third or fourth chance. I DO feel bad for the poor woman who will be crippled for the rest of her life...she didn't deserve what she got.
