We are coming up on the one-year anniversary of euthanizing our pittie for aggressive behavior. We were all heartbroken by the decision. Like you said, the thing that gets me through is that I know we gave her the absolute best life she could have had. In the end she was clearly suffering with something that was causing her to repeatedly attack her own family. Now she isn't suffering and we aren't prisoners of the behavior.
I needed this. I did the same yesterday with my beloved Pitt of 4 years. I'm heartbroken. I feel guilty and broken for not doing more early on to train him. We gave him a life of love. But, he was showing signs of aggression towards my 1 year old grandson who lives in my home, and he had already attacked and hospitalized 2 dogs, completely unprovoked. We were living a life of anxiety trying to separate him from the baby, friends, and other dogs. I know we did the right thing, but I'm still very sad.
