Sad outcome for everyone

[Catherine]

I just checked the article and the potential adopter who took the dog out was told to keep it away from cats and small children.
That to me indicates that the dog had some aggression issues that they were aware of. They can adopt out a dog like that if people are willing to keep it from harming others. Not all dogs are good with children. 

So the man who took the dog out was warned. How sad that it is his friend's little dog that died. I think people really underestimate dogs and their needs. This dog needed to be handled carefully. He probably had a lot of potential to be a good pet with careful handling and training.  Now he only has a few days of life left.

The people involved failed both dogs and now they will both be dead. That is the real sadness. Both dogs should be alive and in happy homes. Everyone loses in this case.
