Oh boy. Another "why farm life can be ugly" discussion comes to mind, having known some professional dog people - that is, people who raise dogs, not the other dog people. :biggrin:

If they did, they'd make it look like the dog was responsible. :wink:
 
This is a great example of why it's so important to spay and neuter and never, ever buy from a pet shop.

Actually, they're too clever to get their prints on it. They'd hire hitmen instead.

Absolutely.

The amazing thing was how the little guy loaded the gun with his teeth.

The puppy was interviewed later and told reporters "It wasn't a very good shot, I was aiming for the guy's testicles."
