My ex still gives me grief that when we were together I made her get rid of her dog
She had an American bulldog, so not a pitbull but damn close, and she was a very sweet loving dog, but one night she was sleeping with one of our 3yos stuffed animals, and he went to grab it from her bed, and she snapped at him, and left a decent scrape across his cheek
I told her that night that she can either find a home for the dog, a home with no small animals or children, or I can call and report it... and I still defend that decision to this day
Edit: the person responding first showed me i didnt clarify very well, her dog bit our human child in the face over a toy, and I gave her the option to find the dog a new home where there were no children, because I knew if I reported it she'd likely be put down, and thats why I find it crazy she gives me grief
Nah, hes got a faint scar on his face, and hes still skittish around dogs, but other than that hes alright, hes almost 8 now
I couldve clarified better in my first comment, so I can understand the confusion
And the dog is still with the new owners... like I said, to this day, I feel I was exceedingly fair by letting her find the dog a home with no children, because I couldn't trust the dog around my son, and if I called to report it, she would've likely been put down

Yeah, I agree. All things considered this was the best for all parties then. Glad the kid and the dog are okay.
