lol anything under 60 degrees is too cold for me, but i can handle a cold start to the day if it is sunny, but if its one of those damp drizzly/rainy dreary days then forget it, i just want to hide in bed. but unfortunately ... animals dont feed themselves lol.

There's a dog that has been shared 1,793 times on FB. He has over $1400 in "pledges." He has 371 comments on his thread begging for someone to adopt him. He also has an evaluation rating of RED and is described as having "severe aggression," "try(ing) to bite," and "not allow handling." Please explain to me why I am a terrible dog killer for saying that he should not be adopted out with that sort of temperament.

Happens all the time. "This is a good dog! He is just scared/needs training/needs a chance". Meanwhile it attacked the evaluator

. 9/10 times it's a bully breed. Meanwhile the nice ordinary dog gets PTS while this one is saved.
Can I ask if the dog is at NYCACC?

Yep. He looks like a Pit Bull mix and is at NYCACC. Why do people think that a dangerous dog that looks like a "pit bull" will do anything but hurt the breed's reputation? There are so many Pit Bulls and mixes with stable temperaments out there that are killed every day and people are up in arms about this dog? People are absolutely delusional:
"I no he's an angel inside his heart he just needs one of gods angels to give him the love."
"Bad experiences create aggression and good experiences fix them."
"I never believe all this aggression bit when they are in shelters."
"love will win out over pain and abuse everytime EVERYTIME!"
"People did this to him, kind loving people can fix him."
"I see greatness in those eyes."
"He just wants to be loved."

And here are some lovely responses to my comment saying that while he is cute, he probably shouldn't be adopted out with such an unstable and dangerous temperament:
"be aware of people who hate dogs and do there up most to destroy them!"
"Who made you the decision maker on who should live or die?"
"Christina I think you just stuck the needle in him."
"If jake goes down then we no who is behind it."

NYCACC is not a good place...but...they also post up every single dog they get in. Owner drops it off to be euth'd, they post it up. This includes sick and aggressive dogs. And then they are vilified for it, where for the most part, dogs like that at other shelters are going out the back. They only offer those dogs to rescue too..so it's not like 'one person' can really fall in love and commit to the dog. The rescue has to take it in and place with a foster.

Which dog is it?
