I still like dogs better...

The mother who vowed to keep the family dog that attacked her toddler says she is not a bad mom, and people should realize that dogs have feelings too. She continues to blame her two-year-old son for the attack, which happened after the toddler tugged on the animal's ears.

"The dog was trying to protect herself, she's got feelings too, just like Noah does," Ms Cottier said.

Would you all chill the heck out! Its so sad that every time something like this happens, people use it to further their anti-dog or anti-euthanasia stand. I mean, seriously, this isn't about you!

I think that the dog should be monitored, but not put down. Would you kill a boy if he slapped his own brother? I'm not saying it isn't wrong. It is. And just like the brother deserves to be punished in that case, the dog too should face punishment. But not by death.

The mother should undoubtedly have been more careful, but you can't just order her to put the dog down. She should be given a community sentence and made aware that a similar incident would result in a harsh punishment for the mother.

And all of you! Stop saying she's heartless coz she's not killing the dog. Its because of people like you, who believe dogs to be just "lowly animals" or even worse, just "toys" that half of them are that aggressive!!!

Respect em! They're smarter and more loyal than the whole human race put together!

Peace Out
