YouTubers Nikki & Dan Phillippi Face Backlash For Putting Their Dog Down After Biting Their Child
Nikki Phillippi, a lifestyle influencer and popular Youtuber, announced that she and her husband Dan “made the difficult decision” to euthanize their family dog Bowser of 9 years after he bit their young child Logan. The announcement, first shared on Instagram and then in a YouTube video, faced massive backlash with so many people wishing the couple had re-homed the pet or found an alternative solution.
In the YouTube video, Phillippi said that she tried to contact the humane society in a bid to re-home the dog. However, it “was not an option as he had been with us from birth,” she explained. “Even if you re-home a dog, it is still your liability if the dog were to attack someone.”
