This person with serious anxiety disorders and other emotional problems passed on her disorders to the "pandemic dog" she adopted as a lockdown toy, then killed her because she couldn't figure out how to fix the beagle's aggression. Monstrous:
Dogs react to the people they're around. They're extremely perceptive and sensitive, especially in a new and stressful situation like being taken by unknown people to a new home. Many, many most of, my dogs react differently to people based on how they behave.

A Window into how They think. A metaphor for what will be done about “dogs that bite.” They are Children. Horrible, murderous, Children. And they want to be absolved of all responsibility, and told they are gods. Buy guns.

When Bonnie Came Home
Just before Christmas, I adopted a 6-year-old beagle. She was adorable—and violent. I found a resolution many choose but few acknowledge.

Even if I did somehow find someone to take Bonnie, I wondered whether it would just exacerbate her already crippling anxieties. As the weeks went by and no new options appeared, I realized I had a choice: I could send her off with a stranger one day—someone she would certainly injure, and who would perhaps end up euthanizing her anyway—or I could allow her to leave this terrifying world peacefully with someone she loves.
Behavioral euthanasia is not a decision made out of convenience. Typically, it enters the conversation once the safety situation with a dog, cat, or other animal deteriorates beyond an acceptable level of risk, said Christopher Pachel, a veterinary behaviorist with Instinct Dog Behavior & Training. There isn’t a universal approach to every situation. Often, if the police aren’t involved, it’s up to a pet’s owner to decide what level of risk they can live with.
My heart rate slowed, and something clicked. Lady was a healthy dog. Clearly, Bonnie was not. I couldn’t possibly picture her acting so carefree. I miss Bonnie dearly—and desperately wish I could’ve watched her dart around my parents’ backyard—but there’s solace in knowing she isn’t afraid anymore.
I knew this would happen when I saw the phrase "pandemic pets". To be thrown away as soon as the "crisis" is over, and they go back to their normal lives of running about endlessly with their human friends, can't have something that puts a stumbling block into those endless vay-cay-cays overseas.
And the behavioural thing - but suggest to them that we put down fucking RETARDS because they'll never be normal and HURT PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, they'll fucking ree like those goddamn retards. But DOGS CAN BE RETAUGHT AND RETRAINED.
When a dog bites, there's usually a good reason (at least in the dog's mind, usually "I thought Master needed protecting") - when a retard throws a kid into a deadly river or pushes them in front of a car, it's just because they thought it was a "funny joke".
And when it comes to barking at people, I take my dog's side, since I know I'm terrible at judging people (considering all the shit friends I used to have). Her problem is bicycles, and I think it's because she thinks they steal people.
Only time I got bit I was handing our dog a treat and he jump up to get it and happened to get my finger too...
Mine accidentally bit me one time when I was reading. I had a blanket over my legs, which I kept wiggling while concentrating on my book. She thought it was some small animal, lol.
