I'm going to split this post into two parts:
Part 1
The person behind the post
------------------------------------------
I'm so sad for you loss. It's never nice to have to put animals down but your situation is off the scale. There's nothing that you can do now and if your mother finds the dogs more important than her daughters safety from a batshit dog then there is something very wrong with this world.
All the same, condolences as to what must be a shocking and horirble affair.
Also on the plus side (if there can be such a thing) At least Shaquille was old anyway when this happened and had enjoyed a long life before it.
Part 2
The TKer
