I agree with Marilyn and Marge. There is enough hysteria around when it
comes to large dogs being "vicious". We certainly don't need to perpetrate
it ourselves. Having been in the same situation myself last year with the
rescue turning increasingly aggressive and ultimately witnessing my
friend's child being attacked, I wouldn't wish those memories on my worst
enemy! It takes a very strong, responsible person to take the appropriate
action and not pass the problem on to someone else.
