I'm not even going to argue the rest of your post because it's not going to change 
how either of us feel. But-as for the above, the original post said the dog weighed 
140 lbs, not me. How much do you want to bet that a 140 lb dog could do alot 
more damage than a 30 lb dog? (AS A RULE, ok?) No sense people telling me how 
their mother-in-law's father's brother's cousin's half-sister had a 30 lb dog who did 
as much damage as a 140 lb dog.
That's alot of dog. It's more than the average woman weighs and it's more than 
almost ANY woman I know can lift. I can lift a 70 lb and fling it out of the way if I 
have to, not so with a 140 lb dog.
Anyway, it does no good to argue. They'll always be those that think aggressive 
dogs should be kept alive no matter what and there'll always be those that believe 
there's too many nice dogs to waste time, money and energy on an aggressive one. 
As it is, I've already wasted more time in writing about this aggressive Pyr than he 
deserves. 
You hope he lives, I hope he dies. No matter what either of us think it's not going 
to affect the outcome (unless you're going to drive to NE and get him). 
Truce.
