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.
She adopted a six year old dog which was already aggressive from the day she got it. If you want to blame someone because a dog that attacks people got put down, blame whoever owned the dog for the first six years of her life.
