Your post reminds me of one of the best puppy mishap stories I have from when I volunteered at a no-kill shelter near me. Atleast once a week, people come in looking for Pits or big mean-looking dogs as guard dogs or potential bait (pfft giving Pitties them a bad name [
:@]). Of course when people do this, volunteers and staff were told to transfer the "potential adoptees" to a manager to make sure that they don't get a dog ever from our kennel - by putting them on a so-called "banned adopter" list. So my weekly turn comes for a group of older teenage guys (who were older then me at the time - I was about 14) to come asking for a Pit or (as they put it) "crazy dog". I told them sorry, but we don't adopt out those crazy dogs because of liability issues plus for the safety of other animals and people. One goes cussing me out and I'm walking over to my manager, who was in the next kennel play aisle, and a pup no older then 8 weeks (a Pittie x, may I add) who was in a high up triple stacked puppy transfer cage, lifted his leg and spray peed all over the guys. Needless to say, they left. Covered in puppy pee. I was laughing, they totally deserved it.
