Welcome to WS, Trees.
I can't seem to find kkds's original post right now but I believe I saw the video it referred to earlier. If I recall correctly, that was just the dog responding to a prompt of something like, "look, a squirrel" or "look, a kitty" - something the dog really wanted to chase. It wasn't like he dropped some kind of "attack" command. The response may seem the same ... but it's not. What I saw in that video was the equivalent of a dog hearing a candy wrapper from across the house and coming running to see who was going to share treats. ...don't get me wrong. I'm sure this guy is a freakin' psychopath. But what I've viewed in my reviews of his FB & TT profiles and what I know of animal behavior ...and just what my gut is telling me ... lead me to think the dog bite she received happened while she was trying to fight this creep off. I think (MOO) his dogs are very protective and jumped into the middle of a fight to "help" him and ended up biting her. I'd love to be able to add on some kind of charge like "ordering an attack on a minor with a deadly attack animal" to his list of charges if we could - but I just don't see it as having gone down that way. It will be interesting (and extremely sad) to hear how that whole abduction took place - if we do eventually hear it.
BBM. I think that too.
Oh I by no means meant to imply that I was thinking he couldn't have ever abused his dogs. There are many ways to do that. There are also many ways to train a dog to attack/defend/guard/kill/(pick ur favorite command) and for the animal to be very good at that task. Regardless of his treatment of the animal though, that dog will likely be the type that is very protective of his owner - especially if the dog is quite bonded to the owner (which I believe his were). The dog could possibly be trained to attack or defend on command. But what I saw in the video shared earlier wasn't any representation of a dog receiving any kind of "attack" command. That's really all I was trying to say ...but also (again, MOO) the whole scenario I'm picturing in my head just doesn't feel like one where this creep needed to rely on his dog attacking a girl for him this to play out.
If you go to the website of the most recent employer listed under Work on his FB page, Steinberger Construction, under the Projects heading and then under the Manufacturing/Warehouse heading, there are projects at Subaru facilities. And also at Haynes International, another project the suspect mentioned (where he did work to repair tornado damage).
Sounds like a psychopath to me. kwim?
MOO he woke the dog to get into hunt mode about a cat.
Yep..I wasn't defending him any means, I just thought, if I could read his facebook posts and think he was completely falling into madness, why couldn't his loved ones see it?.. "you're doing great..hang in there, women are *advertiser censored*; my point being, maybe when a loved one who has a history of violence, addiction, etc. don't encourage it..NOT attacking you by any means, and I'm sorry if I come across that way..just thinkin..we all see that now, why didn't they who knew him best..could maybe have been prevented. moo and respectably responding to you..just a tragedy I'm trying to understand
