I'm SO happy to see the update about Gus.  I know this was a horrible decision you had to make. The dog will love his new home and most of all, your children will be safe.

Re: Gus tried to hurt Emmy and now we have to make a horrible decision....UPDATE with GREAT news!!!
O WOW BEST UPDATE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for Gus, I just know all those other animals are going to keep him in line  and all that space to run around is going to work MIRACLES for him; he'll be so much less stressed!!!!!
This is 100% a testament to the work you put in BEFORE yesterday, btw -- getting the word out and asking all your friends to pass it on... So glad the call came in time and you were able to get out there. It sounds meant to be!!! Congratulations to you and DH!!!!

Re: Gus tried to hurt Emmy and now we have to make a horrible decision....UPDATE with GREAT news!!!
This is our thoughts exactly! He has always been the alpha, but with other dogs that assert quiet domonence(?) he is VERY laid back and submissive. Here's hoping that Tank can teach him and Roka can run his energy out. If you have ever watched The Dog Whisperer Tank is JUST like Daddy. I am hoping it works! No calls yet so Keith made it into the house ok after work and THAT is a miracle in itself.

What a wonderful ending! And now you can really say you had to send Gus to the farm!  Sounds like it was a good match and I hope everyone is happy. Sorry for your "loss" of a dear pet. You did a good thing.

UPDATE
First of all thank you all for the support and ALL of the comments. I know that everything that was said was said with support, thought, and consideration for both sides, and i'm sorry it turned into a doggy debate.
Second Gus was NOT put to sleep! About 2hours before we were to leave a man called us because he recieved an e-mail from a freind of a friend of a friend who recieved a phone call about Gus. In all over 200 people were contacted via e-mail and phone. This man is in his 40's with 2 kids in college. He and his wife have owned labs over 20years and have had up to 4 at one time. We explained EVERYTHING to him and e-mailed pictures. He and his wife live on 18acres with 2 horses, a cat, a 10yr old chocolate lab named Tank and a 7month old blk lab named Roka. They asked to meet him and he is with them now. In all it was 10hours round trip for us but worth every second. At first he growled, but then was fine with the man. To see him run and play with the dogs was a sight of beauty. His wife was ONLY worried about the other dogs and NOT the aggression. SHe feels they have enough experience and training to handel it if it is an issue. They have him until Monday and will make a decision then on if they will keep him. I was worried for him to meet her since she came home later and as she walked in I braced for the worst. Instead he, along with the other 2, ran to her and greeted her like he had known her his whole life. SHe was petting him and on the floor with all 3 dogs like it wa sment to be. It's hard to be TO optomistic, but I feel good about this. I think the puppy will tire him out enough and all the land is PERFECT for him to run and be free. They ar emostly inside dogs and you can tell they love their dogs with everything in them. As we were leaving we said to call anytime and we would come get him, but Wendy said don't worry we'll send periodic updates and pictures of his progress. It sounded like they had made the decision already, but again, we'll see.
If this doesn't work an aggressive dog rescue/rehab called today as well. The co-worker was so upset by what was happening and so sure they could help she calle dthe owner on vacation. They agreed if it didn't work to bring him down for an eval. IF he is found to be a dog they could rehab they will take him, but if not they suggest putting him down. The rehab/put down rate is 90/10. The trainer believes almost all dogs can be retrained and that Gus just needs a home that is less stressful and childfree.
Again thank you all and keep us in your prayers. I love him to pieces and NEED him to be ok.
FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I so hope it all works out and you can feel good about the situation!
