Well i don't thnk i have to worry about him as much as other people! Yesterday a man missed me by two inches as he just missed hitting a turning car and cut over to my lane just missing hitting me! I think i would take my chances with your son before the other crazies out there! Marina

 
In the first post they had a pic of the dog he is very handsome! It really breaks my heart in the way they have worded it they NEED TO GET RID OF THE DOG like he is a piece of garbage? And they are replacing him with a puppy? 

 
Not only was the price right but they give the $ to the huskey rescue group! Well i have found a womon that is going to come to the house and take Bryce to school and pick him up and bring him home ! Then she is going to come to the house around 2pm and let Freya out. Milo is going to the vet techs house. She sounds very nice and i will meet her next week with her references. Marina

We have a Shephard/Collie that we are looking to get rid of.



We have a Shephard/Collie that we are looking to get rid of. He is a year and three months. He is a good dog, trained, housebroken. We have to give him up because he has a lot of energy so he would have to go to a home that preferably has a fenced in yard, or someone who would be able to spend a lot of time with him.We are going to get a puppy and start all over again. We live in an apartment and it is just not enough room for him. He also has some social problems with dogs. He does not know how to greet them, but we have been taking him to classes for this and he has been improving. If you would like to continue to take him to classes we could let you know where we take him. We are going to be giving the dog away to a good, loving home for free. If you would like his crate and toys it would be an extra $75. We have all of his paperwork and he has all his shots, and he is also neutered. Please give either of us a call if you have any questions or if you would like to come meet him. He is very friendly! Dave (516) 528-0540 Kari (585) 944-3733

Owen, I am so sorry for your loss. I can definitely see both points of view. But according to your story, Mack liked to play with big dogs and was playing with a Dane when it happened so I don't see how the Napoleon complex would have anything to do with this Tspanos. Also the fact that Mack was 4 months old, I mean that is when pups can learn a lot from other dogs not so much asserting going on just yet. Pugs, puggles, a lot of small terrier breeds and more are bruiser kind of dogs and seem to like to play with the big guys. I know Gweck (my Dane) likes to play with big and small dogs. I actually like when he plays with small to medium, he is much more gentle and less likely to try and wrestle all tough than when he plays with big dogs. Instead he plays keep away and lets the smaller dogs jump all over him. Anyways enough of my rambling. Again I am so very sorry for your loss!

I wanted to also add, I understand this is a big dog forum but that doesn't mean we can't be sympathetic of small dogs. What the main issue here is, is that a dog was killed. It doesn't matter if it was big or small. It doesn't matter what breed the offending dog is. It is a horrible scenario and should just be looked at as such. I must say this thread has made some big dog owners look like big bullies and I think it's the BPO'ers doing it not Owen. Sorry if this sounds preachy but, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it. Thanks

I have to agree with Julie no matter what the circumstances are Owen lost his beloved pet Mack. Why is everyone so quick to judge? His dog is dead the lady did drive off I have heard the same story from 3 different people that were there when it happened. She knows who Owen is and has still not contacted him. Other people are coming forward and stating her dogs were viscous and had attacked other dogs in the past she did nothing to prevent it from happing. This dog park is really not supervised by anyone there are no boundaries for small dogs or large dogs. As a responsible dog owner I take my dogs to supervised play areas where the dogs must have all there shots and qualified people are keeping a eye on the pups it there is any sign of aggression the owner and the dog must leave. I posted this story to begin with so everyone was informed this could happen and did happen just ask Owen. Not so everyone could judge what mistakes Owen made shame on us. I felt so ashamed when Owen stated so people do not believe me and there judging me my heart sunk thinking how would I feel if that was me and I had just one of my beloved pups? This site is to inform and this is related to Large and small dogs as to the fact it was on craigslist just like any other posts on this site you choose what you read it is your responsibility to voice your opinion constructively!

Hello Marina, thank you for your response. I checked out the site and I was amazed at some of the comments maid by somepeople. Some dont believe it happened at all, others think it was my poor dogs fault, and still other think it was my fault for having him there in the first place. Well when mach was attacked he was playing with his friend, a 4yr old great dane male. I hope people will realize its not the breed or size ot gender of the dog its how it was raized. If you can please post this message on that site for me.
Thank you
Owen

The dog park they are talking about is small i am sure they will  find this person since she had three Large dogs with her someone will remember something and i am sure she will be caught. I can't understand why she would't put the dogs in the car and then go see how Owen was No she has to live every day knowing what the her dog did. The only other reason i could think of maybe they were not her dogs,maybe she was a dog walker even then i still would have checked out the injuries and did everything i could have for Owen sad story!

Thank you to everyone who sent me their advice and links and offers to help transport Molly up from GA. Unfortunatly the people from the shelter told me that Molly was turned into the shelter by a very uncaring owner and she passed away from pneumonia. I am heartbroken. But at least when I lay my eyes and set my heart on another fur baby, I have resources to help me transport if neccessary. What a sad day.
