I hate that it's come to this, but I need a second set of eyes on this to tell me if it's batshit insane or the sort of dark necessity that fatherhood brings.
So. My in-laws decided to buy a Yorkie puppy from whatever mill they got off the wait list from back when my wife was 8 months pregnant. They've never had a dog before but spend tens of thousands of dollars on training, day care, etc. Whatever, I like dogs, even if terriers are nippy and loud this one surely won't be too shitty with all the work put in.
Fast forward about a year, and the dog is now mostly an adult and absolutely insufferable. Barks for 5+ minutes at the smallest annoyance, is visibly anxious most of the time, and aggressive to my infant son, having nearly bitten him twice, with the only steps taken to prevent it "keeping a closer eye on them". Plus they tend to bring him anywhere they can because he's "so small and manageable".
Fast forward to now, roughly another two years. Dog is the same as ever, is an adult now and isn't going to change. I've made peace with it, until one day while literally just walking around outside, he charges and jumps at my son and bites at his face - I intercepted, but he almost connects, and growls aggressively afterwards. Still nothing from the inlaws but "oh that's so surprising".
I'm done with this little shit, and not going to let him scar my son. I see no other option than to remove it from the picture. Research has told me PAPP is the most humane option, I know I can put some in a piece of food and drop it in their basement, and the dog will find it within a few days, problem solved, nobody knows what happened.
Better options? I know it's a shitty choice; owners won't give it up and are clearly incapable of training or controlling it. My wife isn't going to stop seeing her parents. I like dogs and generally love animals but at this point it's an actual hazard to my family that I see no other way to solve.

Tell everyone involved that the dog will have to wear a muzzle if it's going to see your kid.
Just beat his ass the next time he tries something funny. The dog isn't stupid. He will know not to approach you or your son the next time he sees you
Yorkies are my favorite dog but some of them are huge buttholes to strangers and children. My 2 year old female yorkie is like that. She snaps at children and strangers. She's never bitten but it still forces me to keep her away from them
Kill your son instead. Beyond selfish to have a baby in a post 2023 world, especially if you're in America. Suicide and other acts deemed selfish dont have shit on what youve done.
*post 2020
This coming from someone whos always fricking hated yorkies. Theyre the real Black folk of the dog world. But youre satan who doomed a life to a long time of suffering because you or your prostitute wanted a little doll
If it tries to bite again just kick the shit out of it. It will learn eventually.
Before taking such a drastic action, have you talked to your in-laws about your concerns and considered other options for dealing with the dog's behavior? While it's understandable that you're worried about your son's safety, there are potentially other solutions that don't involve poisoning the dog.
One option could be to ask your in-laws if they would consider training the dog with a professional, or if they would be willing to re-home the dog to a family who can provide a safe and loving environment for it. You could also consider setting boundaries and guidelines around the dog's interactions with your son, such as requiring the dog to be on a leash or in a separate space when your son is nearby.
If none of these options work for you and you feel that the dog is a serious threat to the safety of your son, then you may need to have a frank conversation with your in-laws about the potential consequences of keeping the dog in the house. It's important to be honest and direct, while also showing sensitivity to their feelings and attachment to the dog.
Regardless of how you decide to proceed, it's important to remember that the dog is a living creature with feelings and emotions, and taking its life should be a last resort. Please exhaust all other options before taking such a drastic step.
Just keep your son away from the dog if it's aggressive, and don't let your in-laws bring the dog to your house. You don't have the right to kill someone's yorkie just because it's a little shithead. If it was a large dangerous dog then maybe it'd be best to put it down as it's such a liability, but it's a yorkie so it's not like it's actually going to kill someone if it break out of the house. Really it's as easy as not letting your in-laws bring their dog over until your son is old enough.

Lol the buttsniffer tourists is unhinged
The dog is violent sure, but it's not actually dangerous. It would be a totally different story if it was a pitbull or dog as big as pitbull, but it's a yorkie. If the dog was larger and a threat to children it be fair to have put down as you can't risk losing control of the dog and it hurting someone, but it's a yorkie. It's not able to actually be a meaningful threat to anyone over the age of two. It's about as dangerous as a house cat.
>small dogs can't actually harm you
They can still leave scars, particularly on a toddler that isn't big enough to keep their face out of range.
>friend's newly-adopted dog

They don't even need to bite to harm you
this is why you don't sleep with your mouth open, fellas
I have a kid (he's six now and I just dropped him at school). His mother and I were worried our dog, an unidentifiable mutt, would react badly to the baby because he was so protective of us but, thankfully, he simply grew to became protective of our son, as well. He died recently (the dog, obviously) at a relatively young age for a mixed breed (10 years or so; we found him as a stray so we're really not sure how old he actually is).
Anyway, had the dog do much as growled at the baby, he'd have been at least sequestered away elsewhere if not tossed out on his ear, and I hate saying so. It makes me feel like a bad person that I'd have been willing to abandon my dog but the reality is, we live in a small house so there's not much room to keep him away from the baby and as much as we loved him, he's not our kid. He's a dog and human life, especially that of my own flesh and blood, will come before him always.
So while I sympathise here, the right course of action isn't too kill the dog but to speak with your wife and in-laws about what's happened. The dog is not your dog so you've no right to do anything so drastic but you also have a duty to protect your kid. If that means refusing to allow your toddler to visit with your wife's parents, so be it. Make sure your in-laws understand that this is why it's happening and tell them they have the choice between their grandchild and their dog. And I know this will be difficult, but don't hold it against them if they happen to choose the dog. Remember that they can still see the baby at your place or out at family functions.
Does everyone not read the OP and assume this is a big dog? It's half the size of an infant. It's a yorkie for frick's sake. How weak and small are your children where shit half the size of an infant can take them out? They don't make people like they used to anymore. Everyone is such a fricking pussy it's unbelievable.
That post was addressing boundaries, not what size the dog is. And honestly, I know a lot of people in here are saying it's basically a joke to be threatened by a small dog-but it's not. Not with kids, and not with how small dogs tend to actually BITE and draw blood. They don't just give warning nips or half snaps like a big dog does, more often then not they fricking latch on and actually do some damage. Worst dog bites I've ever had in my life have all come from small breeds, usually Chihuahua sized, fricking my fingers up to the point of needing stitches. A kids face is right at their teeth range, and I'm sorry, but the fricking inlaws should not just be allowing the dog to growl and bite at a kid, NO MATTER the damn circumstances. Kids are stupid and need supervision, including letting the dog get away from the kid or just keeping them separated. They need to take some personal responsibility in this and respect boundaries.
As for OP, the fact he's even thinking about killing a family pet rather than putting his dick on the table and laying down the law, is a huge red flag to me. If it were me and I found that shit out, it would be grounds for divorce for me because I would fear for my own safety.
Get your shit together OP and control your fricking temper man. Otherwise your kid will learn that shit whether you mean to teach it or not.
Based. OP just have a conversation with your fricking wife. Lay some boundaries. The dog is a legitimate danger to your child, and if she is as uncaring as her parents then it's time to split. It's just fricking weird that your first instinct is to kill a dog rather than talk.
>IT'S HECKIN' TINYRINO!!
So. The frick. What.
You didn't even read the post you're replying to. It gives perfectly valid advice witha well thought our compromise. You give inconsequential finger farts you pass off as a Wauf[nel] post.
>How weak and small are your children where shit half the size of an infant can take them out?
OP's kid is a literal three-year-old you fricking imbecile. Any dog that threatens a kid is worthless as a pet anyway.
Yeah. And any 3 year old is far bigger than a yorkie. At 3 I got bit by little dogs, cats, etc., from playing with them and shit. We aren't talking a husky or a pitbull, a large dog that can do some serious damages. We're talking about a dog that has no conceivable way of even harming a 3 year old as long as that 3 year old isn't literally handicapped or mentally moronic.
set him up. let him run at your son, but be ready. the moment he runs, you penalty-kick him into the stars. he will never, ever run up to a little kid again.
why don't you just punch the dog when it gets close to your kid? even if the dog is moronic it will understand eventually
>Train dog that proximity to child equals punishment
>child approaches dog
What do you suppose will result from this?
Use your words like a grownup. As a father, you are a role model to your son, so the choices you make matter for more than just the moment. Do you want your kid to grow up to be the kind of man to speak up and draw a hard line when it's needed, or do you want him to be the type of man to sneak around and poison the family's pets?
For your son's sake, start thinking and acting like a proper man instead of a poorly adjusted Wauf basement dweller.
If the dog actually did something to your kid, killing it would be an option, yes. But it didn't. Your anger towards the little rat murderer is understandable but clouding your judgement.
Lay down the fricking law in your household, and ban the dog from your premises, telling them exactly the frick why. If they decide to ignore that and something bad happens (or almost happens), you have just cause to fricking destroy the lives of your inlaws, but only then.
>kill someone’s pet over a story that maybe happened, last werk

saving this one to the redditor red flags folder

>nooooooo dogs never attack kids and OP's story is obviously fake
Coping morons.
>make up a story about an attack that didn’t leave evidence
>secretly poison someone elses pet a week later
Follow the law. Animal cruelty is a felony.
Here’s the thing. If the owners will own it as witnesses, the kid will corroborate as a witness, and you tell the authorities, the dog will be legally poisoned at the public shelter.
If you do this yourself over a story you will go to jail for a year or more and lose most of your rights. Assuming the dog even exists and this isn’t another larp thread like the million other anti-pet tourist “me must poison cat/dog and samegay to tell myself to” redditor shitthreads.
Lay down the law with your family you pussy
Tell your homosexual inlaws not to bring their homosexual dog around your kid any more
You're really gonna murder someone's pet because youre too scared to talk to your family?

rare extremely based Wauf post
OP is a pussy ass homosexual
Just for a size reference. Here is a baby next to a yorkie. Now OP would expect us to believe that he has a what, 3-4 year old child (much bigger than the baby) that can be taken out by a dog that is less than half the size of an actual infant.
OP, you either are truly, and I mean truly, a subhuman onions being and passed on the most impotent genes ever known to a human being, or you're just really looking for an excuse to kill a dog. Or a troll which seems more likely. You picked the tiniest breed to be the "danger"? Yeah okay, bro. If it's real then I'm sorry your son is such a weakling homosexual that he would die to a yorkie and I'm sorry you had to find out the hard way that your genes are worthless and should be culled to improve the species. Please cease breeding immediately if this is even kind of true.
Some Yorkies get up to 20lbs rather than the breed standard 5-7lbs. Giving OP the benefit of the doubt, left dog could hurt a 2 y/o, right dog would lose to a cat.
>millennials at 3
>getting hit with bb gun pellets
>bitten and scratched up by pets and other animals

>literally so weak and gay that they can literally sit here claiming a yorkie can kill their kid
Look, at this point if your kid can be killed by a yorkie that's natural selection. This isn't a pitbull or a husky or a rott or a wolf. If you are threatened by a dog tinier than an infant, you need to just reassess your life. When a dog made to be as weak and ineffectual as possible poses a threat to a fricking 3 year old then that's it. You should've had an abortion at that point. How fricking pathetic to unironically sit here saying that a dog this weak and tiny is a threat to someone at 3. Someone walking and talking and presumably mentally functional. Just fricking incredible. The absolute state of society is a disgrace. May god have mercy on all you people this threatened by a dog. I bet you piss your pants seeing a cat and treat it like a tiger. We need a purge. Society cannot possibly stand or improve if we are breeding people of such low quality that a yorkie is a wolf to them.
>OP doesn't want his toddler to get bitten by a shitty little rat dog
>"millions must die"
Dog gays are mentally ill.
That's not why. But if your kid is 3 and is somehow threatened by a dog of this size, you failed. A yorkie is about as tiny as you can get besides a chihuahua. If something that little can take you out, then maybe you should be. I was a kid too. I was once 3 and I remember the shit I got up to and did and the animals I was around. At no point was an animal that small remotely even a possible threat. So it would take some serious, genetic degeneration to have a kid that's 3 and can get killed or harmed by a dog you can avoid by something as simple as "standing up". If OP's kid has disabilities or something then I get it. If your kid is crippled or mentally moronic then yeah okay that's a little more context that makes this understandable. If he's a regular 3 year old and this is a threat, that's just pure, unadulterated b***h made pussy. 100%.
Don't let your kid near the dog treat it like a dangerous dog as if it was a rottweiler.
In nowhere your hysteric story did the dog actually cause any harm, you have no right to murder someone's pet because you decided to have a kid.
>YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR CHILD IN DANGER BECAUSE THESE OTHER PEOPLE GOT A DOG BEFORE YOU HAD YOUR KID
?????
>you have to put your child in danger
Your kid is in danger from a dog women carry around in their purse? No. It's not a threat. Just keep your kid away from it. Or since it's been so many years your kid should be at least school age by now tell him to man the frick up. Imagine being damn near ready for kindergarten and you are so feeble and weak and useless a fricking Yorkie can take you out.
OP if your kid is small and weak enough to be preyed on by a dog this size maybe you should've had an abortion or toughen him up a little. This has to be bait or some shit copypasted from reddit because that's fricking pathetic.
>sanest dogfricker
OP either keep your son away from your in-laws or just poison the fricking thing and be done with it. A shitty dog's life is worth less than a single hair on your son's head.
>DONT AGREE WITH KILLING OTHER PEOPLES PETS OVER THE RISK OFA BANDAID TIER INJURY HUH
>YOU INSANE FRICK. YOU RAPE DOGS.
Actual schizo. FRICK OFF back to r/dogfree prostitute.
You probably post “le toxo” too. Anti pet schizos that bring up bestiality unprompted are WORTHLESS CANCEROUS homosexualS. Yes i am angry. Pet console war homosexuals obsessed with bestiality are ruining Wauf. You came from reddit. You fricking belong there. Leave. F A G G O T.
Only correct post ITT.
This thing is basically a cat, you morons.
oh man you’re mad at the redditor. brace your stomach for a graphic description of dog dick and insinuations about raping a female husky.
you never ever yell at dog hating reddit tourists.
>BANDAID TIER INJURY
Yeah nah frick off. See pic related. Terriers are very aggressive despite being small, and it's why everyone who isn't a brainworm-ridden dogtard hates those little yappy shits. And yes if you value a dog's life over a human child's then you are functionally a dogfricker engaging in spiritual bestiality. kys homosexual.
You’re arguing from freak literal 1:8,000,000 incidents and using words like “spiritual bestiality” to justify *DESTROYING ANOTHER PERSONS PROPERTY* over just asking them to leave and using these nice things we have outside of africa called trespassing laws. Fricking redditor. Go back.
Reddit homosexuals not welcome. Leave. homosexual.
Really OP should have curbstomped the little shit the minute it lunged for his son's face. But he's just going to have to give an ultimatum to his in-laws that they can choose their dog or their grandchild.
>reeeee reddit
You sure know a lot about reddit for someone who doesn't go there. Stop acting like a schizo and justifying shitty dog behavior. A dog that attacks kids is worthless and should be put down one way or another.
It’s a cat sized creature and it’s not your place to kill someone’s pet. We have laws for a reason. OP could be lying. He could be making the whole thing up. Just to see how many people here are vigilante Black folk and zoosadists.
>kill a dog you don’t like
>make up attack story with no injury
Wow very based. Not. Very reddit. Don’t defend african behavior.
>it’s not your place to kill someone’s pet.
Actually it is if someone's pet it attacking your kid. Please don't reproduce.
If you stomped a dog to death because “it went for im”, and no one was hurt, you would be in jail. This is for a reason. Some people lie. Others are panicky, mentally ill, and see fast movements as attacks.
Recently some black guy in the south tortured a dog half to death and said “it mauled muh family u frickin SHITE people worshiping dogs”. The cops showed up and no one was harmed, except for injuries he himself caused in the past. He had an extensive criminal record and was a serial sadist.
>noooooo you don't understand you have to let the little shithead dog maul your toddler before you're allowed to do anything about it
this is what dogfricker schizos actually believe
>make up a story about an attack without evidence
>kill someone’s dog a week later
Yeah no one has ever just made it up
How about you act like a white man and just don’t let it in your home, homosexual. We have laws for a reason. Follow them. Made up stories are not justification for killing other peoples pets after the fact. This is not about stopping an attack in progress. This is about a larper asking for advice on secretly poisoning someone elses pet.
>hey op kill this dog a week later because of something you claim happened but have no evidence for
is this what morals are like for redditors?
>dont kill other peoples pets because they brought them to your house. just don’t let them in the door.
>FUNCTIONALLY HAVING SEX WITH ANIMULS!!! ONE TIME IN 2005!
Yeah and someone lost a limb from a cat bite like once
If this were a pitbull it would be different but if the child were “a certain demographic” I would prefer the dog anyways
id agree if it wasnt a shitty breed. death to all small dogs.
Frick these gaylords. I'd kill any animal no matter how small if it shows agression to my kid.
>pussy ass adult with a pussy ass kid
