In Her Own Words: (I Read it All, So You Don’t Have To)
With commentary:
Cricket was a wirehair pointer, about fourteen months old, and she had come to us from a home that struggled with her aggressive personality. I was sure she’d learn a lot going out with our older dogs that day. I was wrong.
Well, at least there’s some sort of first–and I believe last–acknowledgment of fault on her own part, one which doesn’t seem to have made it into any subsequent discussion of the matter. She was wrong. She had no control over this dog, and the thought that Cricket would “learn a lot'” by going out with other trained dogs was wrong. (Not to mention that–in the opinion of dog handlers and professional dog trainers–putting a dog with questionable credentials to the test in this way is the height of idiocy and irresponsibility.)
