Have you ever given a pet away?  

we gave away a puppy because we had 3 kids at the time plus this puppy that we thought we would have time for but we didn't, this dog had a bad case of worms and was crapping all over the place, even after he was treated for them, we just couldn't deal with it anymore,we gave him to someone who had a farm and he ended up being a sheep dog and got really big, i guess things worked out for the best though

As a child, yes. We had a cocker spaniel when I was quite young and had a similar situation to yours. I was sitting in a living room chair, with my parents on the nearby couch, and we were watching tv. The dog was on the floor next to my chair. I apparently had arm hanging down a bit over the arm of the chair. Totally unprompted, the dog jumped up and wrapped his teeth around my hand, biting into it on each side. My dad FREAKED ... more out of fear, I'm sure, and because I was so young at the time. He pulled the dog off me and took him to the basement. The next day, he took the dog away :( I was so little that no one told me where he went.

Yes we raised a chow from a pup. He was the best dog ever. He always walked the kids to the bus and waited on them to get off (kind of like forrest gump lol). He was a good protector and watch dog. One day my mother was visiting and he was not use to her because she don't visit much but anyhow she was feeding him some scraps and he turned his plate over, She reached down to turn it back up and he bit her on the arm. We had to get rid of him after that. Its been 3 yrs. and we still miss him very much. His name was Kudo.

No, not yet. I'm fortunate to have had good pets so far. We have a dog now. She's very good with my little one and has very good house manners. I would give a pet away only if they are aggresive like in your situation. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Yes i gave away a pet before. I gave it away because the new owner had a warm and welcoming arms for it, and i had too much. hehehe

Sorry that you had to give up a pet. But, sometimes it has to happen. My friends that had the dog that I posted about not long ago, finally found a good home for the dog. It was necessary. She bit their son on the ear.

As an adult, I've only ever had two pets and they are both with me - I couldn't imagine not having them with me. Family pets when we were younger had to rehomed a couple times. The one I remember the most is an Afghan hound named Baron. My brother loved this dog to pieces but he had some issues and bit both of my brothers on the face, to the point where stitches were required for the younger one. After that, he was rehomed. I'm not sure what happened to him, though allegedly the story is that he was given to a couple with no children. We had a few others, too, that were given away - 2 dogs and a cat. Not sure what happened to them, either.

Sorry to hear about that. I guess it's 50/50. 50% is what type of dog you have and 50% is the dog's temperment. Some type of dogs are aggressive by nature and others eventhough they're not the hostile type, they tend to be because of upbringing. I had to give up my cousin's dobberman and rott because they were to aggressive for me eventhough they lived with me for almost 2 years. I gave them back to my cousin. I guess the original master is still the best. I also have a male dalmatian which was given to us when he was a pup but he has this wild attitude and when you want to pet him he'll start biting your hand eventhough he thinks he's just playing. I takes a lotta disciplining to have that dalmatian under control.

When i was around 8 i had a dog named Midnight. she was a collie and wrotwieler mix. well we lived in Kansas and had two other cat aside from Midnight. well my dad was in the army at the time and he got restationed at Fort Jackson South Carolina he made the decision that we would live on base and i had to give midnight away because they only alow two pets per houshold one the base so there whent midnight. i wonder were she is now?

I have given my pet to my friends
