all I can say is "some people" man I feel for you and your pup, your moms boyfriend says if a dog is injured it should be put down.... Well I was raised in the country and have had to put down my fairshair of dogs, and can tell u that the ones that get put down for injuries, are usually the ones that are agressive, and unreliable.If you cant trust a dog there is no reason to keep it around. Ask your moms boyfriend if his dog should be put down for his behavior......
