Reva meets an Opossum

My Italian Greyhound Reva got really bold once the Opossum was in the trap in the back of my truck! Reva is debarked and this is the loudest she has ever been.

You debarked your dog? Ive never heard of that.

[RedwoodCurtain]

no, I did not debark her, she came to me that way.

how in the world could u debark a dog

[RedwoodCurtain]

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.

No I didnt mean anything like "how could you do that" i was just wondering how they would debark a dog.

[RedwoodCurtain]

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.

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.

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.

[brownhornet22]

Wow. I didn't know that dogs could be debarked. I thought your poor dog had asthma or something.

[pasquarielloanthony]

foiled!!!! barking is annoying.

[gurehaundo413]

Reva is too funny! Tough girl for sure!

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

@james12251 He did push the debark button on his dog ;)

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!!!

[tryluv2day]

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)
