My Newfoundland, who was 3 at the time, got attacked by a neighbor’s dog while on a walk. I reported the incident to animal control who then sent us a notice ordering us to give a rabies vax to our unvaccinated dog. I foolishly complied and he was like a different dog afterwards. He began lunging at other dogs and became aggressive to the point where he couldn’t be around anyone. He would also snap at people if they tried to pet him. He basically had to live out the rest of his life in isolation. Newfoundlands are not aggressive by nature, they’re big cuddly teddy bears. He lived to be 12, but had a very sad life. Ironically, my oldest son is severely autistic and regressed into autism following his one year “well baby” drs. visit. He lost all his language, began having seizures and developmentally remains at a level of a young child at age 32. I have to do almost everything for him such as hygiene, meals, etc. I wish that I knew then what I know now. We learned the hard way. No more shots ever, people or animals.
