I was telling Loey about a situation that Em had called and told me about over the weekend. Em's moms assistant, has a 3 year old son, and the grandfather babysits for him on a regular basis at her home. Well he owns a Dobe, that is around 10 or 11, and the dog was very ill a few days before to the point of almost being dead, so they flew him from Esanaba MI to Appleton, WI, in some kind of Air Ambulance for pets. The vet there shot him up with steroids still could not tell what was wrong with him, and a PET CEMETARY kind of response happened, he came back to life. WOW anyway two days after this happened, the grandfather brought the dog with him to babysit the little boy. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS COMING The dog stood over the top of the child and BIT HIS FACE OFF, and I MEAN HIS FACE They flew the child by Air to Green Bay and he spent a total of 16 hours in surgery. They could not replace his nose because the dog took the support bone right out, the dog also damaged his tear ducts, and they are not sure if the child will have normal vision, they do know that when he crys from now on his tears will drain down into his left what use to be a nostril He had been in a comma untill this morning when he did finally wake . Is it me or do you think the grandparent should have been just a bit more intune with how a dog can react after being pumped up with LOTS OF STERIOIDS of course the dog will be PTS after the 10 day hold. I just do not understand why people can not use their heads in cases like this. Maybe the vet did not explain that behavioral changes can appear after this kind of medication but still, THE DOG WAS ALMOST DEAD why would you take him out and about two days after his resurection I feel so horriable for this child and again because of the OWNERS STUPIDITY not only does the dog have to suffer and of course the bad mouthing of the breed, but this poor poor little boy will have a lifetime of medical issues all because "GRAMPS " was stupid. Where the hell was he when this happened
