Dog Bites Off Little Boys Hand thread DELETED

[Duman]

Dogs are amazing. As a species, they have been a great asset to human beings. I have been blessed to have had many dogs in my life.

So... you're talking about 'asset' hounds?

[Irving]

Oh man... That's a dad joke AND an accountant joke at the same time.

10 points.

[Delfuego]

Now that's a goooood dog!

Mrs BG brought the world's most disgusting Basset Hound into our marriage. I hated that dog.

True story - and, no, I'm not proud of it.

When we were dating I lived in this little house on the Missouri River just south of Offutt AFB. Neighbors place was a summer-only cabin with a nice little floating dock. I'd sit there and have coffee early in the mornings sometimes.

Mrs BG-to-be spent the night one night with Bernard the Basset. She left for work next morning and I went out to the dock to have coffee. I saw Bernard wandering around in the yard. I looked at him, looked at the river, looked at him...and a plan began to form. I figured by the time she got home his carcass would be floating by Kansas City and I'd just play dumb. Or he'd get eaten by a large catfish. Either was fine with me.

I enticed Bernard out on to the dock and tossed his fat ass in the river. Like I said, looking back at it I'm not proud of myself for doing that. But I can't take it back. If you knew this dog you would've done the same thing.

Anyway, imagine my surprise when Bernard not only swam to the bank, but then managed to climb the almost vertical 4 feet from the water to the top of the bank. I have no idea how he did that. I couldn't have done that. He shook himself off, looked at me like, "that was refreshing", and wandered back out to sit beside me on the dock. At that point I knew Someone was trying to tell me something.

I endured another 10 years with Bernard, his incessant whining and his hound stench over a woman.

LMAO!

This thread (I missed the first now-deleted one) is fascinating. And man, I agree with you. I used to groom dogs, and I loathed grooming Basset Hounds. They're far, far heavier than one would expect, have constant ear infections because most owners won't clean their dog's ears, have saliva stains and stink from the flews they tend to have, and have god-awful toenails to trim because their feet are canted and angled slantways. I don't miss that at all.

If pushing a dog into some water is the worst thing you've done, you've lived a pretty good life.

[rondog]

Damn, a dog bit a kids hand OFF? WTF - what kind of dog was this? And how old was the kid?

[Duman]

STOP!! Slowly step back, step-by-step, inch by inch, then turn and RUN from the thread title.....

[Irving]

I think a Husky, and the kid is four.

[BladesNBarrels]

The article said they thought that the hand was inside the dog.
I asked if they cut open the dog and looked inside for the hand.
The thread was gone before I saw a response.
Any follow up?
Just wondering
