[QUOTE="gatodoc, post: 5429989, member: 11563"] Back in 1975 I was a junior in veterinary school at Auburn. My wife and I had a female Scottish Terrier we kept inside our trailer and a female Irish Setter we kept in a pen right out back. The trailer was in a park 150 yards from a busy 4 lane, The Scottie came in heat and we weren’t ready to breed her. A male lab mix started camping out at our trailer. He even got aggressive with my wife a few times when she leash walked the dog. one night I tan him off and followed him. He went across the 4 lane and down a dirt road about a quarter mile to a small frame (student rental type) house. I knocked on the door and met a couple about my age and explained my problem with their dog and the danger he was in crossing the hwy. They laughed and said it was no problem because their dog had been vasectomized. I kid you not. They said the local veterinarian they used had never done a canine vasectomy but he did their dog. They were concerned about dog overpopulation but wanted their boy to run free and enjoy life. I told them he wasn’t born free to hang at my place and growl at my wife. i didn’t see studly for awhile after that, then my Irish Setter came in heat. Early one morning I heard my outside dog screaming. It was drizzling as I jumped into some jeans and ran out back shoe and shirtless. My dog was trying to get out of her doghouse and the male was trying to get in and they were stuck. I jerked him back and threw him against the fence. My dog ran out the gate. I looked back and the lab mix was snarling at me. I grabbed the long handled shovel I used to clean the pen and hit him over the head with a full swing. My wife screamed out the window “you‘ve killed him.” I hollered back as I went to catch my dog “I intended to.” As I drug my setter back toward the pen, the male was staggering sidewise toward the road. My wife laid a guilt trip on me so I drove to the dog‘s house to offer to take him to the vet school for treatment. I couldn’t find him or the owners. At my first break at school I called the dog’s vet. He was in surgery but his receptionist told me the dog in question had been brought in with a fractured nose. The owners thought he’d been hit by a car. The owners had requested he be neutered while there. I said “that’d be a good idea” I thought about offering to pay for treatment, but decided it was an unprovoked attack and I’d acted in self defense. Even those who love animals dearly can be pushed beyond their limits. [/QUOTE]
