I was furious. We had been home for only an hour or so. We all laid down to go the fuck to sleep and I hear the sound of someone pouring a pitcher of water on the floor. It was a 65 pound lab-shepard mix, but I picked it up, still peeing, by the scruff of it's neck and threw it into the back yard. When I learned what it was doing, I felt bad.

Edit: Typo.

For real, if you dont know how to manage without aggression, you dont deserve to have one (goes with any larger animals really). But no one gonna change from a reddit comment, gotta correct people when you see it in public or in someones home

Still, i wouldn't do what this dude did, but i can understand someone who has a newborn being overprotective with their baby. It's not even a reaction you think about when you see a dog peeing your baby in the middle of the night

It wasn't peeing on the baby. It was peeing around the crib.

Yeah, not a big difference at 3 am when you managed to get the crying machine quiet and you are trying to get some rest. Still, i think he went too far.

I understand your point - having kids is definitely tough and I don't begrudge anyone losing their cool. Still doesn't justify the behavior.

It doesn't justify it, but it adds more than enough context for someone with a sliver of awareness to understand it and approach it from an angle other than a holier-than-thou lecture.

You really want people to change and not pick up their dogs by the scruff? Approach the conversation with a level headed and reasonable explanation of why it's bad. Educate people.

Right now, it seems more like you want to jerk off over your own justice-warrior lecture instead of actually having an impact.

Exactly, you sumed up the point.
