Calls come in to adopt dog that attacked boy; shelter says no.

After video of heroic Tara the cat went viral showing her ninja-body-slamming a dog that's biting 4-year-old Jeremy Triantafilo most people agreed the dog should be put down.

Calls have flooded the phones at the Bakersfield Animal Care Center, director Julie Johnson said Friday. Johnson has been taking calls from rescue operation centers that claim they can change the behavior of the dog. But the dog is not being turned over to anyone. I get concerned that we are fielding so many calls for this one dog, Johnson said. I have 200 other dogs that need a home, who haven't bit anyone and make great family pets. I admire their animal compassion, but this dog attacked a child, Henry said. It's a vicious animal.

And the dog's attitude has not changed since he's been under quarantine.

According to Johnson, the dog is actively trying to fight and bite workers who are adding food and water in his kennel. We need to put our energy into saving other animals who are euthanized because there's not enough room in the shelter, not on a dog who has attacked a child, Johnson said.

Pomeranian:

...The most horrifying example of the lack of breed predictability is the October 2000 death of a 6-week-old baby, which was killed by her family's Pomeranian dog. The average weight of a Pomeranian is about 4 pounds, and they are not thought of as a dangerous breed. Note, however, that they were bred to be watchdogs! The baby's uncle left the infant and the dog on a bed while the uncle prepared her bottle in the kitchen. Upon his return, the dog was mauling the baby, who died shortly afterwards. ("Baby Girl Killed by Family Dog," Los Angeles Times, Monday, October 9, 2000, Home Edition, Metro Section, Page B-5.)

The dog should be put down, and the people that owned the dog should be put down as well.
