~* DUSTY *~
Dusty, a Labrador-Dalmation, was scheduled for euthanasia after his first
humans dumped him at the city pound. He eluded death by a mere 24 hours and
found hope at the Granite City APA. One of the most popular puppies at the
no-kill shelter, Dusty was lovingly released to his new home.
That home included a young child. Dusty was left *unattended* with that
young child, an almost 3 year old boy. The toddler, being a toddler,
provoked Dusty and he nipped at him. The toddler was injured and required
two stitches.
What should have happened in this situation was to confine the dog, tend to
the bite, and call animal control or another shelter to ask for assistance
on how to handle this to prevent future biting.
Instead of taking responsible actions, nearly 10 hours later,
