Reading the last posts of Arch and Tommy2 I cant help it but come to the view these guys will never see the danger this dog represents. Furthermore, their views are typical of people whose love for dogs is such that are blind to accept that some dogs are actually dangerous animals. Any person that is responsible for children can't afford to be blind and not see the danger this dog represents.
My sentiments exactly. When I worked voluntarily for a rescue I found that probably half were completely out of touch with reality with regards to dogs.
I knew of one woman who ran a local rescue who would lie about a dogs previous behaviour to secure a new home, then would be vitriolic to leafed the new owners when the placement broke down.
Unfortunately my experiences were so bad that I wouldn't touch a rescue dog with a barge pole now, I just don't trust those that run them.
At the end of the day, this dog has been reported to have bitten by those who know it best, it's owners. Anything the vet, the rehoming centre, you or I or any other cycle chatter have to say on the matter is pure speculation. The only people who know what happened are the owners.
I find the down playing of the bite and insinuation that is fabricated very worrying.
