[pyrnet] When is it appropriate for a dog to bite? Society's reactions

[Carol Brescher <carol@pyr.uniflex.net>]

I agree with you all on this matter. The dog's owner should be compensated,
the kid should be tried for trespassing and for "theft of services" for causing the
death of these two working dogs, and the police should undergo some kind
of training.

Is there any national or state organization that exists to champion the cause of
dogs and their owners in a situation like this? There is soooo much anti-canine
feeling in this world, it has become woven into the fabric of society. I am interested
in what happens here. Barb, since this is really not truly Pyr related, could you
keep me posted privately on this. Thanks.
