Bad news everyone...Matt and I had to take Sammy (our dog) to the Humane Society on Friday. Thursday night I (Nicole) went to pick him up while he was lying in the corner and he growled and bit my wrist/arm. This isn't the first time he's bit. Matt and I were wanting a dog and his co-worker had offered us Sammy because she was trying to find him a good home after he had bit her daughter for no reason. The daughter had come into her mom (Matt's co-worker) to give her a hug and Sammy bit her. Usually, if a dog bites once, they can never be trusted again. Since Sammy had bit three times, he can't be trusted around anyone. So I took him to the Columbia Humane Society, told them the whole story. They said he might get put to sleep but that they would give him a week long agrression evaluation to see if he was probable to be adopted. I don't know what's been of him since. It was really hard to give him up, but we did only have him for three months and we took him in on the note that we were trying to rehabilitate him. We agreeded that this would be the route taken if he bit again. BUT, we will miss him and no more puppies for a little bit.
Just thought we ought to let you all know.

Allen and I both think you guys did the right thing. We were sad to hear it, and Penny's gone miss getting molested and the family get togethers; but you made the best decision.
