When Niall picks up the phone this week, he’s met with a caller in tears. Her beloved rescue Labrador, Max, snapped at her 6-year-old son—leaving only a small cut, but igniting a storm at home. Her husband says Max is dangerous and must be put to sleep. She says it was an isolated incident and that Max deserves a second chance. With the vet appointment looming, she turns to Niall for help.

The phone lines light up with strong opinions:

“One bite is one bite too many. If he did it once, he’ll do it again—next time it could be worse.”

“Dogs warn before they bite—he was growling, he was stressed. You can train that out, don’t punish him for one mistake.”

“What about the kids? You can’t gamble with their safety.”

“Max is part of the family. You don’t just give up on him.”

It’s an emotional rollercoaster of compassion, fear, and tough choices. Will public opinion sway the decision before it’s too late for Max?
