Dog Gone :-(

My parents returned the puppy today.
She had become increasingly "manic" and doing a lot of biting. Even when offered a chew toy or removed from a limb, she would immediately come back in something like attack mode. My parents just didn't feel like they could handle her in a way that was good for them or her.
It's too bad.
I've recommended that when they're ready to try again they look for a mature and gentle shelter dog who is already housebroken. But they probably won't venture in this area again for at least a year.
