PUBLIC AWARENESS Several of Dr. Browns personal Rottweilers have been on television for topics such as breed discrimination, oral health care demos, etc. Declining to see an aggressive pet is NOT the same as breed discrimination BITE HISTORY EXAMPLES Here are a few examples of why the above policies exist Dr. Brown spent three days in the hospital for a cat bite While taking a new patient history during a housecall, Dr. Brown was pulled off a couch by an unprovoked German Shepherd that proceeded to drag her across the room and would not let go of her hand........
