Imagine being told you have 2 weeks to get rid of your pet or you will be evicted? There are Many reasons people are forced to have their dogs "debarked". And the surgery is a lot less invasive/painful as a spay or neuter. The dogs are happier, because they are allowed to bark freely afterwards without constant reprimand or painful jolts from a bark collar. The shelters are over run today, anyone who chooses a simple surgery over abandonment is well commended by me. Training does not always work
When I was a kid a possum snuck into my house through the doggy door, and my crazy ass wiener dog attacked it, chased it under my bed, and tore it apart. It was gross, but I had a newfound respect for my runt of a dog after that day.
I rescued a Sammy (Samoyed) and he was debarked before I got him, so I can appreciate your situation. I adore him just the same as you do yours. Yay for doggie lovers!!!
Thank God your pup found you .. a good owner! I can't believe people would actually debark their dogs! I know you didn't do it too her but you are awesome for taking her in and loving her! I own 2 Iggy's that I rescued and they are the love of my life ... go you! You are awesome !!! Oh and I just adopted an opossum (thats how I stumbled on your video ;o)
Man seeing or hearing a debarked dog seriously messes with me. I have seen a lot of fucked up shit in my life but for some reason its this stuff that tears me apart. I don't understand how a "dog lover" could do this. I understand you didn't do it and I would have taken your dog in too, but it would hurt me to see that.
Too bad you did not read the other comments. You would have seen that Reva was debarked long before she came to live with me. Should I have not taken her because she is debarked? She certainly has no idea she is debarked and is perfectly able to express herself. My two other dogs are not debarked, BTW.
A light anesthesia is used and the vocal chords are partially snipped. Sorry I assumed you were bashing me - some folks have really flamed me over the fact that she is debarked.
No, it is not a habit for her to even be out front off lead, let alone behind the truck. We also live on a dead end street, so no traffic to speak of. She followed me out when I was carrying the trap with the opossum and was 100% focused on it as you can see.
Good observation - sighthounds in general should not be off leash in unfenced areas.
Awsomenick3 are you stupid? Greyhounds, whippets, and all sighthounds are supposed to have like 3 ribs showing all the time.....That was like the best looking sighthound ive seen.
tried translating this - the best I could come up with is that you are asking if the dog got the opossum. No, she did not get it -I set it free in the forest.
Good job! I have a lot of critters that mess around my place but opossums are about the most respectable creatures I know. They are nature's scavengers. They don't want any trouble and whenever I surprise one on accident, they just walk away. Much respect for letting it go in the forest. Thank you.
I agree with you AZApple. I am glad your dog is not affected by the debarking redwoodcurtain. poor thing does not care that it does not have really a bark more of a honking noise then enything.
The fact that someone would choose to surgically take away an animals ability to express itself over taking the time to teach it just shows how lazy people really are.
As I have said in previous replies to comments - Reva was debarked long before she came to live with me. It was not my choice and not one I would have made for her. However, that being said, Reva really has no idea that she is debarked - she still expresses herself just fine whenever she wishes, just not as loudly as most dogs.
She's beautiful! Such a shame the people who had her first couldn't simply teach her when barking was and wasn't appropriate. The Iggy mix snoozing in my lap right now sends her tail wags. :)
Reva was debarked as a young dog, long before I got her, so she has a hoarse sound when she barks. She can be pretty noisy when she wants to. The debarking is not a choice I would have made myself. My other Iggy is not debarked.
the opossum was indeed released into a wooded area away from houses. It had snuck in my back door and was living in my house for several days (feasting on cat food!) before I was able to trap it.
I agree. I have IG's and I see opossums all the time in my neck of the woods. Those critters hiss and bite. And opossums are frequent road kill. I'd rather have an IG anyday!
Normally her bark is nowhere near this loud - she was over-the-top excited about this critter and putting her all into it. Usually it's more of a whisper.
She came to me debarked at 5 years old. At this point I don't think she knows she is debarked - she can certainly make enough noise to wake me up if she needs too!
Wow. I didn't know that dogs could be debarked. I thought your poor dog had asthma or something.

careful Reva, that opossum could have rabies. Lucky she didn't try to attack it but bark at it instead.
marlyonama 4 years ago
No.
Opossums are very unlikely to have rabies. This is due to the lower body temperture. The virus has trouble surviving long enough to infect.
