I could use some reassurance...
I went to hang at a friend's house tonight, brought along my dog because my friend has a big backyard and my dog loves to run around, but doesn't really get much of a chance to. So I get there, and another of my friends had brought his dogs too, which was great because it let mine socialize with some other dogs. Everything is fine, until his neighbour comes over with his dog, a husky/wolf cross. My dog is playing with the other dogs, and the husky comes up and bites mine in the face (mine is a pomeranian/shih tsu, just a little guy). Everyone freaks out, most of all me because my poor dog is bleeding and has it's eye gouged out of the socket, I have to be restrained from going to the kitchen to get a carving knife to cut that mother fucking dog to shreds, they shove me and the dog into the car and drive to the vet, where we find out that there is a good chance that my dog will be blind in that eye. He's still there now. The neighbour says he'll pay the $1200 vet bills, but I am debating reporting his dog to the SPCA and having it put down as well. This is not the first time it has attacked another dog, as it did the same thing to the neighbour's other dog too, and attempted to attack my previous dog. But I know that most of that decision is coming from the anger I'm feeling right now, and I know I'd feel guilty about it because I'd be sentencing something to death, and also would be separating someone from their pet, which I know is not a nice feeling. I'm conflicted about it, and like I said I could use reassurance that having him put down is the right decision.
