That is the STUPIDEST thing you could have written.

Kids are dying as we speak. AS WE SPEAK. We’re letting it happen.

I hope things get better. I hope we learn and change.

You ‘know’ her well enough to judge a situation better than professionals close to the situation because you’ve followed media about her? Look, we all form opinions about others based on stories we hear... but try to remember that opinion is not the same as knowledge. She seems terrible to you; to someone else (me)…

That poor baby! Friends of ours adopted a greyhound (that was trained with live bait :( ) and he was an awesome dog... until they had a baby. Then, the mere sound of their newborn crying, cooing or making any newborn noise made the poor dog go insane because newborns sound very similar to dying cats/possums that…

Different dogs will react differently.

Dogs, like people, are not the same. So maybe you should calm down a bit and not apply your experience with your dog to someone else’s experience with their own dog.

Voice of reason. I’ve always had dogs but am not an expert in training them. I DO have 30 years under my belt with horses though and it’s very similar in that world. There are animals who require a “pro ride” and just aren’t safe and aren’t ever going to be safe for the majority of amateur riders. In the horse world…

Yes. Heaven forbid we say truthful things like some animals cannot be trained out of aggression or trauma. Better to let people adopt potentially dangerous animals than assume they can figure out that this trainer was talking about a situation that can happen SOMETIMES. What. A. Dick.

I dunno, I keep seeing people using the fact that Dunham took the dog everywhere, including work engagements, as proof the dog was fine, but isn’t it more likely that part of the problem was that she could never leave him home alone (or with any other person)?

But maybe the fact that she kept him for four years means that she tried a bunch of things and didn’t give up on him easily? There is a charitable interpretation of this.

I don’t know the details of this dog, but there are some dogs out there, just like people, who react differently. Some dogs do not get better.

What are reasonable expectations of someone who adopts a dog? She spent four years and tons of money and the problems are still happening, including biting. She didn’t drive out to the country and abandon it, she found a new home for it.

I have all rescues myself. Difficult dogs are not for everybody. And it looks like she wasn’t fit for that dog as much as it wasn’t fit for her. These things happen. And she took the care to re-home it. That’s not irresponsible, in fact quite the opposite.

A lot of dogs get turned into the humane society for behavioral problems. If this dog was more than Dunham could handle, then she did the right thing by getting him to the people who could. Lamby is now with an owner that can manage his problems and loves him. That’s the best outcome for the dog.

Good thing your personal experience is universal, and all dogs are the same, then.

Sounds like you have some serious dog-parenting skills!

TIL rehoming a dog is apparently the same as “abandoning” it.

I have had a foster dog for 3 years. He can’t leave, and I can’t formally adopt him yet because of his behavioral issues. He was gentle and friendly in the shelter— because he’s an extremely sensitive dog, and when you separate him from me, he shuts right down. The rescue and I have worked with 3 dog trainers, and…

Sorry but this story is shit-stirring and mean.
