No one wants a dog like this…. and who can blame them? It is a lifetime of management and work far beyond the normal extra work a Basenji can make in our lives. This is not the dog you and your fiance wanted and hoped for....please don't feel guilty if the only realistic option turns out to be euthanasia.<<
Well put Andrea.. and I totally agree. If this dog is just truly aggressive, someone could be seriously hurt

I can only add that I have been around an aggressive epileptic dog (an English Bulldog), who bit me and my mother and would lunge at us while, I'm guessing having a seizure. He used to lick the floor constantly just before getting aggressive. Not knowing what was up he was neutered, then went to U Penn (I believe) behaviorists and then finally, he had a CAT scan at a prominent NY vet hospital where the epilepsy was diagnosed. Sadly, he developed pneumonia after the anesthesia for the procedure and died. He was quite old at the time of diagnosis, though.
Sending you lots of ((hugs)) and prayers for support and quick answer. I'll be thinking of you and your family and of course, Achilles during this tough time. Please keep us updated. -
While some might think it is cruel to put this boy down, with all this that we are hearing starting from when this pup was with the Mom…. Letting this boy pass over the rainbow bridge might be the one single act of kindness. It is never an easy decision to make, but sometimes the right choices are tough.

I would like to know as well.
I am in Wa and would offer to help if I can. -
Thank you.
I just wonder what will happen to the pup.
If I can be of any service to you, please let me know. -
Thank you for that info.
Hopefully, he can be vetted and behaviors turned around.
I will say a prayer to that.
Hugs -
I will let you know that the pet store took him back and is planning to find out what's wrong and to rehome him.
Lucky home that gets this pup :rolleyes: ….
I think that is seriously unethical to even consider rehoming (read reselling) this pup to another unsuspecting home. But that's just me.... -

I think that is seriously unethical to even consider rehoming (read reselling) this pup to another unsuspecting home. But that's just me....I totally agree with you….. unethical to the pup and to the potential home... I fear with this story on this pup... someone will get seriously hurt....:mad:

Pat and I had been talking to the grandmother privately, and there was much more to it than just aggression. I also fear what happened to this dog…and the family it goes to. I'm in total agreeance with you guys.
Yes, that is true Arlene and I have been… and it is a very sad situation... like I said in other posts, sometimes the greatest act of kindness is to let this pup go....

Sometimes as a rescue person, the kindest thing we can advice, or do, is give the dog peace of the rainbow bridge.
I have had to do that in the past…thank heavens, not for years.
Its never been something I have done lightly, but I have never felt it was a wrong decision.
The only decision I could do to give peace to the dog...
