We have this new dog. SHe's been here for a few months now. My aunt brought her from Illinois. SHe was a cute big dog, a German Shepherd breed. Well, i like dogs. In this place where they don't give much attention to these pets, we're a bit exceptional.. We care for them as if they're also humans. We feed them well, and they also enjoy the things that we enjoy.:) But this dog is different. My aunt said she has a poor eyesight. She's eleven year's old now. She can't remember us all. Sometimes she would ignore us, but most of the time, she would bark at us and run after us. She's a bit uncontrollable now. In fact, she already has bitten my niece, my goddaughter and brother-in-law! I love her, because she's our dog. But the thought of keeping her really scares me. My life in the house is really weird. I would pass by the windows. Sometimes, i'd rather stay outside just to be safe. We talked to our aunt already, but she said she doesn't want to put a string on her because she might turn wild. We also suggested that she buys her a house, but up to now.. no house still. I don't wanna be rude. I just want to live a normal life inside our house. This is really pathetic, i know. if you're in my case, what do you think will be best move to make?

I think that dog is having a mental instability. You better take the dog to a vet to make sure that she is no danger to you and anyone else. I love my dog. He's an 8-mo old maltese but if he ever shows any sign of violence consistently I would definitely take him to the vet to get him checked. We need to feel safe around our dogs. I'm sure they want the same thing from their owners. Take care.
