Looks like everybody has their own opinion or 'take' on this one. I couldnt imagine not having my dogs. I am taking the approach right now of keeping them. I will start stock piling food for them too. Worse case is if somebody comes after my house, they will have 2 HEALTHY (130lb & 115lb) German Shepherds to deal with. As my sign in the garage says, "My Dogs Eat Everybody That I Shoot" !
