If that had been my child, I'd have snapped little Annabelle's little
neck.
Dogs that bite children--unless the child is tormenting the dog--
should be killed, instantly. No second chances. There was this cat
who lit into my arm with its teeth. Within a week, it was dead. My
wife insisted that I trap it and pay $25 to have the vet kill it.
What a waste of $25. I could have snapped its neck and buried it.
