Today Nolan and I took Josie back to the Linn County Dog Control. Yesterday Josie bit Josiah (4-year-old nephew) without any provocation or warning. Thankfully, Nolan was able to pull her away quickly and Josiah only received a minor scratch. We could only imagine how much worse it could have been. We loved our dog, but know that she could no longer be trusted, especially around children. It was a hard decision to make, but the right one. I'm so proud of Nolan through all of this.
We will be looking for another dog. We'll definitely take our time, though. We don't want to have to go through this experience again. Josie brought a lot of fun and joy to our lives--especially Nolan's. We'll either find a puppy (which means it'll be a while since we would need me to be home with it), or a slightly more mature dog where we can know the ins and outs of its history.
