Woman Makes Her Husband Choose Between Her And A Pit Bull That's About To Be Put Down By Animal Control

by May

Pit bulls often get a bad rap, but it’s crucial we don’t blame an entire breed for the mistakes of a few humans. Remember that every dog has the potential to be aggressive and attack other humans.

These canines need forever homes where they can feel their safest, and where their human companions can understand them and set them up for success. However, not every dog owner can manage to do this.

Moreover, having an aggressive dog is not only a huge undertaking but also a huge liability. Treating dog bites is extremely costly for the average household, which explains why insurance companies refuse to cover dogs with a history of aggression.

While rehoming may be an option, the previous owner is technically unloading the burden to another person. The process is often stressful for dogs, and they'll likely become even more fearful and aggressive.

In most cases, it's a bad idea. So it's not surprising that one Redditor made her husband choose between her and the aggressive dog he took in.

According to a user named AitaMeOrDog, her husband wanted a bigger dog. But with their current living situation, it was not possible.

So the couple decided to wait until they get a bigger yard. One day, the husband saw a wandering pit bull.

He wanted to take it in, but their neighbor ended up adopting it. After some time, the neighbor's two pit bulls got into a fight, which ended up harming people.

The animal control team was about to put down the dogs, but the husband had another plan.

Rehabilitation can be a solution. But this family doesn't have the means to provide the necessary environment for the pit bull.

The pit bull might attack their current dog. In other words, taking in the dog will only make the situation worse.

Reddit may be full of dog lovers. But in this situation, they sided with the OP who doesn't want to keep the aggressive dog.

It is, after all, the right decision. They simply cannot put themselves and their dog at risk.

If the husband truly wanted the best for the dog, he should've agreed to take it to a no-kill shelter.
