Dogmatique
My mistake - I misread.
Apologies.
But while we're here, storytime!
About three years ago an old schoolfriend of my husband's was frantic because the state (PA) had removed her children. She owned two dogs at the time and one of the dogs had bitten her several times and one of the children once. She did actually seek medical treatment but the state intervened and she was also told that in order to get the children back home, she had to get rid of the dog.
Her parental rights were terminated last Spring, and both children were adopted by their foster parents. These weren't young children, either - they're now 14 and 12.
She still has the dog.
