This is not a comment about this episode, but about the one that had Victoria and Taz in it. I just saw this episode on tv, and apparently it's from season 2, and so that blog is now closed. Out of frustration, I am posting a comment here. I am posting a comment because the vile owner of those poor, sweet little dogs put one of the dogs, Victoria, to sleep. I saw some comments on the blog for this episode from people who were as upset as I am about this, but I had to say something here also. The vet that put this SMALL dog to sleep (I emphasize small, because nobody can argue that this dog was a threat to anyone) has no business being a vet. I only wish that there were laws in place that would ban him or her from ever practicing veterinary medicine again - but unfortunately, there do not seem to be adequate regulations in place for vets. This episode highlights the larger problem of how easy it is to put poor, sweet, lovable animals down. Maria Brown (who is the owner of this dog), the Vet that put her down, and anyone else who was complicit in this act deserve nothing but pain, unhappiness, and misery in their lives. She had no business owning dogs (given that she was afraid of them), and instead of trying to find Victoria a good, new home, she decided to kill her - this is utterly despicable! There should also be laws in place to prevent her from ever owning a dog again, but there aren't...

The dog whisperer made a comment which, in the most politically correct way possible, said that there were 'other options' and that these people should not have owned these dogs. But I wanted to be very politically incorrect here! Even after the promising change in behavior that Cesar was able to accomplish with Victoria and Taz in a short time, Victoria's owners gave up on her. A sweet, innocent dog was murdered. I hope Maria Brown and that vet are ashamed of themselves, but they probably aren't - and even if they were, this would not bring Victoria back.

Hi Judy - That is awful, and I'm very sorry for you. But hopefully you won't have to put her down. It won't be easy, but there are great pitbull rescue groups all around the country who may be willing to take her and try to rehabilitate her. (Think of it like this: She needs to be rescued from herself!). You shouldn't do it yourself - it can be a full-time job, and it is too hard for a regular citizen to control the environment enough to make things safe (e.g. the incident with the girl). But for trained professionals, who do this full-time, they may be able to rehabilitate her, and maybe someday even place her in a home, or re-place her in yours. Maybe you can offer to give money each month to help pay for her keep. I know it is hard, but better than just euthanizing her, and safer for you, your other dogs, and the others around you. Good luck!

Hi I am having some trouble with my dog gizmo he has always been aggressive and snapping at people. A month ago me and my family found a abandoned lab on the freeway. So we decided to keep her and raise her. My other dog gizmo has always been treated as our baby, he is not getting along with our new dog and has attacked her. He has always been this aggressive. He has snapped at other people before, and now is getting out of control. He tried biting me the other day. I was wondering if you can give me some advice to calm him down. Your help would be appreciated.
