Owners every time. A dog is as good as it’s owner but constantly there are certain groups calling for specific breeds to be put down. Dogs deserve good owners.

Totally agree Boingy! For me if an owner beats their dog with sticks with nails the punishment should meet the crime! If I saw someone doing this then I would want to do the same to them! Killing a dog or cat should be 5 years minimum!
