Anyone having a dog needs to be aware of the breeds’ characteristics. Once you acquire a dog, you become responsible for that dogs actions. No one can imagine that THEIR dog would ever attack a person or another animal, yet every year beloved animals not only attack children, adults and other animals, but turn on their owners as well.

Mr. Butler was fully aware that his dogs ran off, yet he refused to do anything about it. That negligence resulted in the shooting of his dogs on May the 19th. With the history of Huskies and their prey drive, which many times result in the killing of infants and children, Mr. Butler is very lucky that the outcome of his dogs on that day in May didn’t result in something far more tragic.
