Poor dog!

Posted from another forum, had to share this

What do you see in this video?


This one?


How about this one?


Evaluation comments of Katherine Haupt, VDM:
Dog 206 in cage 33 brown female with white markings Dusty

Wiggled at approach, stare and squat. Bit hand when petted and when eating.

avoided witch

Snarled at doll

jumped but no aggression to male or female dogs

The results of the testing indicates that [...] one female Dusty 206 who snarled at the doll should be humanely euthanized because of their lack of any useful purpose and the public safety threat they pose.

Do you see what she sees, or what I see--a great family pet who just needs to be placed with an active family willing to do some training?

Based on Dr. Haupt's recommendation per this "temperament test," a court has ordered Dusty's death.

Now i don't see anything wrong with this dog, she needs a bit of training but that's it poor girl!

Edit
have found theres a petition for her!

Samson would defo fall he'd flatten the doll and lick it to bits

that is so wrong that could be a great dog for someone

Its a very sad state of affair and I think it's less commen in America than it is here. So many being pts, not even because of behaviour (not that there was anything wrong in those clips) but because there is know room to keep them

Wow. That dog looks like a good samaritan to me. Happy and tail wagging the whole time. Gorgeous pup. Why would anyone pts that girl?

OMG....my daughter and I both watched the vids and thought how sweet, loving and happy this dog was. I would happily have it in my care based on those vids.

poor Dusty ... her life dismissed just like that..... most dogs would react the same wouldn't they?? she is in a strange place... probably scared out her wits...hardly the crime of the century.. how sad..

Now there's an "expert" with no knowledge of dog's body language and behavior.. So sad

No!! Gorgeous dog, better around food then half the dogs that I know!

Did you guys sign the petition? I did. I hope she is still alive.

Signed and linked it to facebook.Unreal that they are going to put such a good dog to sleep.That Dr. needs to have her degree revoked.The testing seemed stupid to me a 3 ft doll is not a child and the dog knows that.It did freak the dog out a little and she still behaved.I really think there are very few cases when a dog cannot be rehabilitated and allowed to live a productive life.It seems that the people involved in this always want to take the easy way out and put the dog down.Imagine if we had the same outlook in our jails and prisons.

this is so upsetting, that dog was acting the way Russell would... even the way my labrador charlie would in that situation, just excited interested and happy to be there. that is pure discrimination against the breed.

I signed it, it's really sad as i see a lot of harvey in her the over excitedness and he would fail for sure, and i know full well he is no 'public threat'!

That's ridiculous! I'd snarl at that stupid doll too....

i signed it

Wth if someone started shaking a plastic thing in my face and banging it about on the floor i wouldnt be to pleased.Why is that grounds to put a dog to sleep?Stupid test,the whole thing needs a rethink.Dr my a**

doesnt suprise me at all......pounds dont even "test" they just kill them regardless of temp or age if places cant be found for them x
