When i was at Uni one day, one of the teachers told a story of this guy breaking into a house; well there to meet this would be slime #(&^$ was the pet dog who soon turned him into a chew toy.
The a## hole whilst in prison, sued to the homeowner to get the dog put down because he was injured and suffering.
Now at this point i said WHAT? the teacher gave me this look and a half, he won his case to have the poor animal put down.
So if your dog goes to protect you and your home, he/she should stay eating their bone in the corner, whilst you get the c&%^
taking out of you.
