And I assume you would feel no sympathy for an animal that was having toys poked down it's ears, fingers poked into it's eyes, tail pulled, fur pulled, it's back ridden on, kicked, smacked, and screamed at?
This is frequently what humans expect a dog to put up with.
Then suddenly the dog turns . . . well blow me!
A cat would lash out with it's claws.
A pony would bite or kick.
Humans would defend themselves also.
Why shouldn't a dog?
If only all parents, and even schools, taught kids how to behave round animals and
understand the warning signs when an animal has had enough - especially in heat like we've experienced this summer.
I cannot comment further on this particular case, as I was not there and have no idea of the circumstances leading up to the dreadful ending . I can only say how tragic for all concerned.
