This is heartbreaking...
So, I sold this guy these boots like 6 or 7 years ago. His wife called me last night, he had just called her IN TEARS, he was helping a buddy move a desk, and took his boots off at the door. The guy's dog started in on his boot. This is what he found at the door. I had to share with you folks...

Good LORD!!! I would be absolutely devistated if a dog did that to my Aldens. However, I would then proceed to destroy the other shoe by stomping on the dogs head repeatedly.
OK, I wouldn't really physically hurt the pooch, but I'd think long and hard about serving some chocolate fondue with his kibble.

Jokes aside, is there any way to repair the shoe? The damage seems localized to the toe.

Oh, yeah! My dogs go crazy over the stuff. I have to keep shooing them away from the lid and container when I'm conditioning leather goods. They'd probably lick it dry!Long John Tinfoil wrote:Has anyone else reported on dogs apparently liking the taste of Pecards?

On a side note, coming from a HUGE dog person, a dog is only as good as his owner/human! ;-)

Just replace, "I want my money", with, "Why'd you eat my Alden?" .

I hope there is no cause for deletion of this awesome clip since it is on non-cable, prime-time standard television. Funny as, um....heck. I guess.

My eldest daughter left several of her large dogs in my backyard while she moved to Arizona....coming back for them at a later time. During that time, they chewed off a lot of the back of the house woodwork, rounded a 2 x 4 railing, and chewed off a good chunk of the corner of my cinderblock garage!
Boots would have been nothing to these teething monsters.

Hopefully, the buddy is responsible enough to offer to pay for repairs or at least a satisfactary portion of the cost for replacements.
My own Aldens are about the same age 6-7 years old and I can't imagine seeing them destroyed in a situation like that.
I did have a dog chew the heck out a pocket of the very first leather jacket (A-2) that I owned. Man I remember that was pretty devastating and didn't love the jacket the same afterwards. Luckily my next leather jacket was and Indy Wested LC.

We're creeping off topic but I thought, as an online friend, I'd make a reply.BendingOak wrote:I don't have faith in people any more. I got hit by a car last summer while ridding my bike ( brand new I might add). It was a young kid and he still hasn't paid me.
My grandfather used to say, "the human race would be fine if it wasn't for all the people"! I always took it to mean that by and large we are a cooperative lot but one or two sour it for the rest.
I had a similar accident a few weeks ago. My advice, if you are unhurt now, let it go. "One year from now you won't miss that money, unless you feel you have too" - another one of my grandfather's.
On the other hand, if you still deserve compensation become a persistent but polite pest. phone or write everyday asking, ever so nicely, how your payment is progressing. It works wonders.

Yea, but the big difference here is that the guy whos shoe got chewed was a friend of the owner of the dog. In fact he was helping him.BendingOak wrote:I don't have faith in people any more.

To my knowledge, the owner did nothing. The guy was in Friday and bought a new pair. I don't think that he got compensated. What really is the kicker is that the first pair was a birthday gift. His wife had a garage sale and used her profits to buy them. The new pair was a birthday gift too...they are very nice people, I have a feeling that they would say "oh, don't worry, it's no big deal" but let it eat them up.

I think you are all missing the point....
he just needs a good story to go with that, like:
"so there I was running from the natives with the ancient artifact in my bag when this huge lion rushed me and began chewing on me before I managed to it away and made good my escape. It was a good piece and should be worth at least a ticket to Marrakesh"

Here is another pet tale. For a gift from my wife a few years back, she picked up an MR Falcon went they went clerance. It has been out on display for a year or so uncovered. Fast forward to last month when we adopted a new cat. The first night we were going into the room to watch a movie when we found the new cat had made the Falcon her perch by sleeping on it.
An expensive case now covers the Falcon.
