Is it horrible to hope a dog passes away...? I have always LOVED animals more then anything in my life, hell I'm trying to become a biologist, but I am genuinely afraid of this dog, it's my moms best friends dog, and after high-school me and my mom are going to move into her basement because they want to go traveling and want me to take care of the animals and house while they are gone. But that dog genuinely HATES me, plus he's attacked the cat who lives there and i have a cat who I would be bringing with me, he's a German ridgback, he is very old right now and I think he may be loosing his mind because he was never this bad before.... i dont wish pain on this dog at all! I just hope that he passes before I have to move in...
