Dog to Be Put Down for All the Wrong Reasons.

http://www.saveheidi.com/

Heidi a 5 year old rescued Doberman Pincher. Because of her excited reaction to a stranger who tried to pet her, Royal Oak is now requiring her destruction or removal from our family. This is heartbreaking and totally unnecessary. And all because she jumped up as he was bending to pet her and broke his nose.

I'm almost in tears. :( This is terrible.

That is...terrible.
I signed, and I'm getting a ton of my friends to as well.
My hopes are with you.

Signed.

Things like this make me not want to bring my dogs out in public, even though they are better behaved than most kids...

i signed it.. its possible that i might not be able to control my language here, so im prepaired for another infraction,,, but how such an inocent behavior of a dog come to this? how can someone be such a feminine hygeine product??? it just seems to me that anyone that would aproach a large breed dog has the comon sence of how ANY dog might act around strangers.
i dont know YOU, and you dont know ME,,, but if this dork was to try to pull this BS on me, id tell the police that he pulled his genatiles out and and exposed himself to me,,,,,it startled me and my dog....
im not a violent person, and im not really a spitefull person, but the phrase " an eye for an eye" has been around for along time for a reason...... what a dip......
i feel so sorry for you and your friend right now, and i hope for the best for yall......
and always remember that theres a special little place in HELL for certian people.
good luck :tears:
spooky

Is there really 27k signatures? I signed it btw.

This is sad. Reminds me of the story of my neighbors pit bull. He had to put his dog down because he scratched some guy...the guy was only out for money

I signed and shared. I hope Heidi can be saved.

That's so awful. :( I signed! I would be devastated if this happened to me. I can understand if the dog had bitten/actually gone after the guy, but to put her down because of clumsiness...that's just horrible. Don't they need SOME sort of proof that she's dangerous?

Hell, I've busted my nose bloody on a doorframe before, and I didn't blame anyone other than myself.

I know if this was my dog I'd be fighting to. And I'm glad so many are helping.

I signed. This story made me wanna cry :'(
How many signatures do you need to get the charges dropped?
If this were done to my dog a broken nose would be the least of this guys worries

OMG! How sad. I signed and am going to pass along to all my animal loving friends and family. That idiot should have know better than to approach a dog he didn't know like that. I don't care how friendly they are, you always properly introduce yourself to a dog you don't know. SAVE HEIDI!

i thout this WAS your dog:confused:

Whomever's dog this is: SIGNED.

Some people can be so... human. :mad:

This is coming from a guy who does NOT like dogs:

I hate when people assume you love their dogs and come up to you or allow the dog to jump up on or lick you.

That said, if the guy came up to you and A. tried to pet your dog and B. she never actually opened her mouth and bit him in my opinion this guy can pound sand.:mad:

You know, when I was a little girl, probably around 9 or 10, I was playing with my neighbors and they had a little white dog. We kids were really rough and tumbling out in the yard having a blast.

My friends mom opened the door, and their dog ran out into the yard to play with us. I happened to be in the middle of a somersault when the little dog collided with me in an effort to lick my face. She had her mouth open of course. I came away with a nasty little gash right beside my nose from one of her teeth. It bled of course, like a face wound always does.

I went in the house for a washrag, then decided to go home and let my mom see the cut. The little dogs family were scared silly, they were afraid of what happened and what it would mean if we went to the police or animal control. I went home and showed the cut to my mom. She asked what happened. Without hesitation I told her I was being rowdy and the poor little dog had run into me. I told her it was my own silly fault. Mom patched me up, and then dogs the mom and dad came over. They were so upset and kept apologizing and apologizing over and over. Finally I came over and asked if the dog was okay. They both looked at me kind of funny. I told them, "Well, I just about flattened the poor thing because I didn't see her in time, and I was worried she was hurt." They both said she was fine. I told them I was glad she had not gotten hurt because I was clumsy. They just couldn't believe that I took the blame for what happened.

Technically, it wasn't my fault or the dogs, but I wanted them to know that my mom and dad and I were not out to hurt their dog or get her taken away. I still have a scar on my nose where that happened, but you know what ? It wasn't anything she did wrong. This guy is just another word for a donkey.

Signed! Things like this kill me. I have a 100 lb pit bull! So, I get all the crazy looks when I take him into the local pet stores!

There's usually a hearing with whatever animal control agency has jurisdiction. That site is lacking in anything but the petition. I've got a doby now and have had them in the past. I've had my nose cracked, not broken but smacked pretty hard, by a number of dogs over the years. What dog owner hasn't?

Something isn't right here. Either they owners aren't telling everything or ..... something. I hope the dog doesn't wind up dead for being a dog, but what about the rescue she came from? Under the circumstances, I would think they'd either take her back or work hard to find another home for her.

Really need to know more.

I have a pit as well and I am always careful whenever anyone wants to pet her. She is a big baby and never shown aggression but when people get around these types of dogs they act like you have a tiger on the leash. I hope all works out for this animal as its a damn shame. Dogs arent born aggressive. People make them that way. Its a shame some idiot who is being a pure oppertunist here has to take this out on a helpless dog.
Good luck

I signed it and shared it.
Have you thought about telling them your dog died and just register her under a new name?
My boyfriend's family did that with their pit and they were never bothered again.
I mean, what are the authorities going to say? 'show me the body'?

Good luck!

I would have had to put down my dobie the first day if that counted as a dog bite. He was good at either swinging his head up and getting me in the nose or swapping ends and nearly knocking me over with his butt.

Dear God, it sucks when idiots run the show. Give one of them the tiniest scrap of authority and he'll wield it so efficiently as to produce nuclear-type devastation.

Holy crap, if that is what's considered aggression, almost every puppy would be put down! That guy is an idiot, trying to get a dog killed for being a dog. What's sad is that it happens all the time. Good luck trying to save him.:gj:

Done .Good luck..

Signed.

Signed.

I hope the dog is saved. :( I can't believe people sometimes.

Signed, good luck!
