The animal shelter should have done a better job with matching Buck to an appropriate home.

Turning a 2 year old child loose with any dog is asking for a bite! Adopting a dog is admirable, but use common sense people!

The dog was put in a bad situation by human beings who should know better. Let the dog get adopted by anyone that wants to take him home. German Short Haired dogs are an amazing dog and a great family dog. We had 2 of them growing up. Poor guy just had surgery and then the little child was probably not supervised by parents.

This is not the dogs fault. He deserves a chance to be in a loving home.

Buck needs to be given a good life, I believe Chris Soupene would be able to offer this. Knowing Chris personally, he has every right to give Buck the life he deserves.

This dog was not given a fair chance. He should have been vaccinated and never adopted out right after being fixed. He was recovering from surgery and was in pain. Every animal acts out when in pain. Please give him a second chance.

German Pointers (both the Shorthair and the Wirehair) are breeds bred to be not only hunters, but family oriented canines. They were designed to be guardians and protectors of family....hence the reason most of them are "velcro" dogs. They are so family oriented, that they do poorly if relegated to the back yard or a kennel....they MUST be with their family! For a shelter (who should certainly know better) to put an adult dog through major surgery, and then adopt him out the very next day to a family with a two-year old child, should be held morally, ethically, and financially responsible. Is this standard operating procedure for this shelter? Have they done this in the past? Are they planning to do it again in the future? Are they in such a rush to get the animal gone that they forego any thought or consideration as to the welfare of the animal? But to put him through surgery and then adopt him to a family with a small child the next day is complete lunacy!! GSPs are large, active dogs. If the parents weren't supervising the interaction between child and dog, they are also at fault. The only innocent in this scenario is the dog. Having just had surgery, I'm sure he was not feeling well....and to have been residing in the shelter in the first place is very stressful for any animal. Then to be relocated to another strange place with strange people, and a two year old stranger heckling him was too much for him to take. This is completely the fault of the shelter, and the parents of the child....but primarily the shelter. If they don't have any better sense than to put an animal in an untenable situation, then they should get out of the business. This situation has put not only the dog, but a child at risk. And why was this dog adopted out without a rabies inoculation in the first place????? The policies and operating procedures of this shelter should come under close scrutiny and review. And the dog should be allowed to be adopted by Chris Soupene

People need to know that their children should not pester dogs. These things happen and the dog looses it's life. Parents, be responsible!
