First of all, not everything you read in a story is always completely accurate so you'll never know the full truth of something without getting it first hand. And it's not that he doesn't care if someone gets scared because of Buster or that he's being immature or an irresponsible dog owner. He was in the bathroom, everyone has to go to the bathroom and he wasn't going to bring his three year old daughter with him to the bathroom. So yes, he took his eyes off her for a few seconds to go to the bathroom, that's not being irresponsible. She is never left in the house alone unless he is right on the porch smoking a cigarette, and even then she's outside with him half the time or the dog is outside. He's taken every precaution he's needed to, and she can no longer open any door to the outside in the house. There's no reason to get offensive or start calling people stupid; that's immature. And again, according to the dog officers he's been a very responsible dog owner. And any dog that can get outside will usually try to whether they have a small place of living or a big one, so no you can't blame the dog for wanting to be outside, all dogs love the outside. But it's done and over with, he'll never leave the house again without a muzzle even in the yard and precautions have been taken so that he can't get out of the house so this can all stop. Nothing's going to change, and name calling and bickering about pointless things is going to lead no where. You have your opinions and everyone is entitled to them, but there comes a point where people go too far. The dog has always been in a loving home, the previous one just couldn't afford to take care of them anymore. He was never beaten, he's never attacked anyone or bitten anyone, and in the home he's a safe dog. Honestly we don't know what actually happened that day because the post man's story changed several times during the hearing, and he never acted as if he was pepper sprayed. So we'll never know, but we've taken all possible actions to prevent further instance besides putting him down because that would be cruel and in humane and he doesn't deserve that.
