You have to seriously screw up a dog's life for it to be 'depressed'.

The dog is depressed and bit its owner, hmmmm. I like that dog. Now can we get him to pee on his leg? I mean hell, we have to go for a tri fecta here to qulify the dog as really depressed and nuts. Biting the owner isn't enough.

Another victim of senseless Maltese savagery. When will they ever learn?

I was once bitten by a kitten with an obsessive-compulsive disorder, god complex and unresolved feelings of anger towards her father, a Sealpoint Siamese with an eye for the ladies.

Despite being on Prozac, Xanax, Haldol, Stelazine, Cymbalta and 3 oz. of tuna daily, her symptoms would not abate.

And then we met Jesus Peandro -- the cat whisperer. Long story short, after just a few hours with Jesus, this little kitty was purring like a Ferrari V-12.

And shortly thereafter she bit me in the knuckle of my ring finger, and I had to be treated with two oral antibiotics, one injectable and ultimately hospitalized to receive IV antibiotics.

In summary, animal bites can really suck.

Get well soon, Jack!

ROTHLMFAO the funniest story I ever heard in my life.

As a cat owner where one cat is Queen of the castle and the other cat talks more often than most people I know. I really appreciate your story.

When I read the headline, I thought the story was about Tony Blair.

"Paging Cesar Milan, Paging Cesar Milan, you are wanted in Paris."
I think Cesar would get that dog off drugs right away and slap the people that gave it to him.
If the dog is crazy its cause the owners weren't doing something right.

[PuddyKatz]

Every French stereotype here. Well, almost. Was his mistress present?

[Culturemaven]

[BartLA]

Sumo wanted to show he's just as tough as Barney.

Do I smell another episode of "The Dog Whisperer?"

[justoverit333]

So were medicating our dogs now..big pharma knows no bounds.

Why not just let it chase a few squirrels and enjoy nature to brighten up its day.
