1. Can you explain the White House Dog “Commander” who has bitten people at least 12 times? (There are rules that when a dog bites the 1st time the owners are issued a warning, after a 2nd bit, the animal may be euthanized. There are dogs that suffer from PTSD, just as humans do and they require special handling and a special owner. The animal may have suffered abuse too. A lot of this comes down to training too.)

– REPORT that Animal Samaritans tries to do all they can for these folks and their unwanted animals. This is heartbreaking.
