I hope the owner gets nicked with the shep's guardian's medical bills as well. He was taken to the ER and lost part of his finger. I mean, that will probably cost as much as 4 hours of surgery to his dog.

People have to be more careful. These incidents are piled up and counted when people go for breed banning.

I hope the puppy makes a full recovery. It would almost make sense to remove this puppy and put it with a different puppy raising family. i think that it is possible that between the puppy's memory, and the handler's fears of this incident, the puppy may not have a chance of getting over it.

It would be even worse if this was a seeing eye team and that dog attacked. Then a dog completely trained and a blind person trained with the dog would have to either move on from this incident or get another dog, or I don't know.

People have to be more careful with their dogs. they have to be responsible. this is simply inexcusable.
