I still miss her. I called and e-mailed everyone I knew who might know an alternative solution, but no one had any suggestions. On New Year's Day, the lab needed 7 staples across her back to close a wound. If it had been in the neck, it would have been a tragedy. A few days later there was another attack, and it was even scarier than the previous one. We just decided that it wasn't fair to the labby, who has been with us for nearly five years.
The shelter director was very blunt--said the dog needed a strong human pack leader, and we tend to run more of a democracy here. (And since my son always votes with the two dogs, my husband and I don't win many votes!!!! 
)
She was adopted again, and our shelter director and Animal Control Officer are both keeping a very close eye on the situation.
