it is. i do make sense, honest
SB is making to a making a point to a few of the members over this thread:

Hardly in the same context I think.

If running with the hare and the hounds is aimed at me and many others that had empathy for that poor woman so be it. Sometimes I cannot believe some people.

This was a dog mauling children not a dogs owner making the biggest mistake of her life possibly and now having to live with the regret. Hardly the same thing at all.

What relevance has the other thread to do with this report ?

Lynn I completely agree with you,

Not foresight in my opinion just complete stupidity!

Urgh, things like this infuriate me. What on earth was this dog a "service dog" for? is the South African so-called "Dog Whisperer" visually impaired/deaf/disabled etc.?

You could see the dog eyeing the girl up at the beginning of the video. Poor kid.

What a stupid, selfish man.

exactly, someone whos '100% sucess rate' was more important to him than the fact it was clear that dog was NOT safe to be around children

The dog had a history of agression before the first attack but the 'trainer' thought he was rehabilitated to the extent he took the dog to far too busy a place and didnt pay attention to what the dog was up to till it was too late
Then after that he STILL believes his own hype and lets it happen again

The only way this would be similar to the other thread would have been if the old lady had rehomed the dog knowing he had a history of running into icy lakes and having to be saved
If last year the dog had again jumped into the icy lake and she had to revive it and still let it go on and jump in again
Yup that way the situation would be similar

In this case I think you've got your apples mixed up with your bananas. This wasn't lack of foresight, it was a lack of humility and the ability to learn from one's mistakes from yet another self proclaimed dog whisperer (aren't they all).

Poor poor children, and what an idiot trainer

This is an obvious case where foresight should be used, given that the dog had previous aggression... the owner in the other thread though could, for all we know, have had no prior warnings to what her dog did... They aren't the same thing...

Totally agree with this, poor dog and poor little girl.

Rather ironically this thread should be re-titled "What happens when people are so arrogant that they believe themselves to be perfect".

What was it that was said on the other thread about pedestals......
