"Butch is a rescue who has some trauma from his earlier life. He's shy and timid and doesn't like children or vacuum cleaners. I lived with Butch for almost three years; my own dog also lived with us during that time. Last year, while our house was being vacuumed by a housekeeper, Butch bit her on her calf. I was there, and I attended to the woman and made sure she was OK."
"Fast-forward six months: My partner and I have parted ways, and he decided to ditch Butch so he can travel and play pickleball with his new victim. He gave Butch to his niece, who has two small children, without disclosing the dog's biting history. In fact, he told his family that my dog bit the housekeeper, not Butch. He is lying."
A 9-year-old rescue dog named Butch has trauma, is shy and does not tolerate children or vacuum cleaners. Butch bit a housekeeper on the calf while the home was being vacuumed; the owner was present and cared for the injured woman. The dog's former partner later rehomed Butch to a niece with two small children without disclosing the bite, and falsely blamed the incident on another dog. Immediate notification of the niece is advised and the bitten housekeeper can corroborate the risk. A separate correspondent reports a long-distance boyfriend who maintains an intense, problematic relationship with a married female boss and best friend.
