Purr request for a dog.
My sisters boyfriend put his dog, Karni, down today. Karni was
perfectly healthy but unfortunately had a dangerous dog order placed on her. It sounds very dramatic, but Karni wasn't crazy or psychotic. She did however bite someone who complained to the council and the dangerous dog order was put in place. No damage was done to the person, but when someone complains to the council, that's it. The laws are strict here, and the options were either to keep Karni in an enclosure with a concrete floor or else put the dog down. Unfortunately my sister's boyfriend rents and couldn't take the option of the enclosure. He also lives in a small town where it would be easy for the pound to track the dog down, so moving house or keeping the dog predominantly indoors was not an option either. After months of trying to re-home Karni to friends, family, rescue groups and anyone else we could think of, all efforts lead to dead ends and time ran out. Karni was put down today. My sisters boyfriend was very close to his dog and is heart broken and guilt ridden. I guess he felt he had exhausted all options, and I guess he probably had. The vet came round to his house where the deed was done. This is really very sad. I'm feeling very upset about it. Can't imagine how he feels. A death sentence for biting someone and it didn't even draw blood. Seeing as this group is good at sending purrs, and I do believe that they help, I'm asking for purrs or prayers for Karni so that she will have a safe journey to the bridge and can hopefully forgive her human for what was done. Dewi. |

The vet came round to his house where the deed was done.//// I lost my first dog, Mush, in similar circumstances when I was 12. He accidentally bit a visiting child after being wound up by the little beast. The childs mother really went into one even though the kid had no broken skin and a similar dangerous dog order was placed on Mush to that of Karni. We will keep Karni and your sisters BF in our thoughts and prayers. Tell your sisters BF that although he had to make such a heart wrenching decision, he showed his love for Karni by having the courage to be there at the end as his friend went across the bridge. He could have easily taken the cowards way out and dumped Karni at the vet to go to the bridge alone. Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

This brought tears to my eyes. We shall light a candle for Karni to help
guide her on her journey and send purrs to your sister's boyfriend for his heartache and pain. Purrs for you and your sister as well.

Purrs aplenty for Karni and the BF. If that ever happened to me, the first place I'd call is Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah. They've had some amazing results rescuing such pets from the long arm of the law. Jeanne |
