"We want them to get settled and comfy so we can start working with them and see their personalities emerge," said Patty Hagwood, the director of animal care for Best Friends, the largest no-kill animal sanctuary in the country. She said, if possible, the dogs will be rehabilitated so they can be adopted out. "This is the best possible chance for them," said Hagwood, one of two Best Friend staff members to travel with the dogs on the flight. "We hope to have them on couches and beds of loving families."
Good for them for relocating the dogs, but thisis a long shot. It's easier to take a nice doggie and make it mean then to take a mean dog and make it nice. It's almost like the shelter is setting themselves up for a lawsuit.
True. Realism escapes them. As soon as that dog gets on the coach, he's not letting any of his "new family members" on there without a fight to the death. I'll put money on the dog any day.
It's best just to ride it out, Clark.
I really shouldn't, my hands are all chapped.
There is no way that this wil be the end of the story...I figure Hector will snap one day and kill one of their other dogs. That is about the best case scenario that I could come up with. The worst case involves Hector snacking on a human femur.
You are damn right. But the sunshine pumping assholes who write about this will do all in their power to not let the public know about when one of these dogs goes apeshit on another dog or human. I don't know why I'm so negative about this but it can't be a good idea to re-place all of these dogs, can it?
