Alain Delon's Dog

My GSD never recovered she literally lost much of her very active GSD mind and became a changed personality, to imagine her suffering is horrible. She recovered a little but not entirely I think she never entirely trusted me again. She was too gentle to become aggressive but she did not enjoy life as she once did.
I had nobody who could take her into their home so had to kennel her.
She went in with my other GSD who was an outgoing character who thrived in the kennels and meeting all the other dogs so no psychological harm came to him. He however was a rescue who may have been a Doberman cross Dobies are bred partly from terrier .

Alain Delon knows his own dog . Seems there has been many disputes between him and his family.

The dog was healthy.

The dogs temperament ? Is the condemning of Delon because he is male ? So unfair

The dog was healthy, whether the owner was male or female…..

Who's condemning him because he was a man? I'd have made the same comments whether it was a male or a female.

Exactly MissInterpreted clutching at straws now Anniebach

Is. it because he is male ?

? This means i asked a question ,

And I would say if you've read the whole thread, most people are condemning the request itself. I don't see anyone condemning him purely because he is a man. I think most people would feel the same way whether it was a man or a woman who had done this.

No one has mentioned make or female…….

Do you think people would say it was ok to put down a healthy pet, if the owner was female?!

I. read the thread, if anyone had said ‘because he is a man, i would not have asked the question.

I do not agree because i did not know the man or the dog,

It just seems a very odd thing to ask. My take on the thread is that almost everyone is condemning the action - not the person. It doesn't matter whether it was a man or a woman.

The actions of a control freak - and I would have said the same had he been a woman.

I don’t know the man, the name means nothing to me, but I don’t think it was a rightful thing to do at all. You shouldn’t kill fit well animals just because you are not there to look after them

When my job changed and I had to be away from the house for much longer periods, my dog that I had had for 8 years
was lonely and I could tell unhappy I loved that dog a huge lot but I did the best I could for her and found her a new home and she had 8 more happy years with her new family.

Killing the dog in my opinion would have been a selfish move, at 88 I wonder how much time and life he gave the dog hopefully it ll be happy and well looked after for a few more years

The answer is simple.
Alain D was buried today in his garden. Read Park.
Animals are not allowed to be buried in your garden.

Not in France you can't.
Even if you are Macron.

My fracture and surgery meant my young lab was boarded for six months this year. He was with a trainer friend, living in with her family and dogs.
Hes been home a month and is very settled, as he was with her.
We agreed when my husband died twenty months ago that if anything happened to me, she would rehome him via her lab rescue charity. The agreement now is if I can’t care for him she adopts him. My spaniel will go to my sister.
Every responsible older dog owner I know has arrangements in hand for their dogs if anything happens to stop them caring. The idea of putting a healthy dog to sleep is beyond my understanding

A healthy Malanois can live to 10-14 years . If this dog is healthy there’s no reason it can’t be successfully rehomed.

God, our garden is a veritable pet cemetary - I've lost count of how many are buried there.

Certainly got my cats, fish, and gerbils in my garden

I’ve been reflecting on the end of life period with my dogs. Vets do all they can to suport the people helping their loved pet leave this world. I’ve been lucky, only one of my 12 dogs had to be put to sleep as a youngster. He was six, with an inoperable tumour on his spine, pressing on vital organs. He showed mobility problems one night and was out to sleep two weeks later, by which time he was very sick and the mri scan showed it was terminal. The vet came to the house. He lay in my arms and I talked to him, stroked him as he gently left life. It was desperately sad, we all wept because two weeks earlier he’d been such an active happy boy
Vets want owners with their pets if pts is necessary - I can’t imagine leaving instructions to put my dog to sleep if I die. Sorry I’m getting carried away and will stop

Permission was obtained but the family objected to the dog being put to sleep.AD had a stroke some years ago.

escaped - you aren't quite correct -

^The only specific references in French law are to be found in the Réglement sanitaire départemental.

Article 98 of these local health regulations usually follows a template, which states that it is forbidden to bury animals less than 35m from dwellings, wells or other water sources.

In most areas, therefore, it would appear that it is not strictly banned to bury a pet if you have a large enough garden, although it is not recommended as it might pose a contamination risk to other animals and to the environment.^

I have three dogs buried in my garden plus two containers of ashes.our vet has always asked whether we want to bury them

My hand slipped before I finished my post. The only reason we have the ashes of two is because our land is very rocky and it is difficult to dig a big hole as we are getting older.
