Are dog bites dangerous?

Dog bites are extremely dangerous, as the bacteria from the dog’s mouth can enter the skin and cause severe infections. Even if the bite looks small or harmless, it can cause infections, and in serious cases, lead to rabies.

People who get bitten by dogs need immediate vaccination or antibiotics to prevent the wound from getting infected. If not treated at the right time, a dog bite can become fatal.

What happened to Morgan Wallen’s dog?

Following the unfortunate incident, Morgan Wallen’s former fiancee considered options about her dog that she rescued from the roads more than a year ago. Smith said that she got several advice suggesting euthanizing the dog, but she believes Legend does not deserve that.

In her Insta story, Morgan Wallen’s ex-fiancee said:

"I am getting Indigo back home tomorrow, and Legend has to be gone by then. I cannot put him down either, because he doesn’t deserve that.

Smith expressed her desire to give up Legend and find him a suitable home. She put an emotional plea on Instagram and shared her number requesting followers to come up or connect her with someone who would like to adopt Legend.

Smith said that she’s looking for someone who has ample space for a pet and doesn’t have small children.

However, her emotional plea for Legend got trolled and criticized by people who accused her of giving more importance to her dog than her son.

However, KT responded by saying:

“being a responsible dog owner involves ensuring that the dog gets an environment where it can thrive and where triggers towards children are absent”.

She also lashed out at her followers:

"I don’t care about the hate that I get from this. I care more about my kid and giving Legend the home that he deserves."

In the video, she also brought Legend on camera to show how calm and friendly the dog is. She teared up and said:

"I just keep asking Legend why."

On Monday, Smith shared that Legend has been adopted by a loving family. She said:

"We just dropped Legend off with the sweetest family where he will be living out his full potential and best life on a farm. I couldn’t have asked for a better family for him to be loved on by, and they’re East Tennesseans, so we can visit any time we need to."

There has been no statement regarding what triggered the dog to attack Morgan Wallen’s son and whether the country singer visited Indigo at the hospital.

According to reports, Wallen was in Philadelphia for a show on June 17, a day before the incident, and is scheduled to perform in Chicago on June 22 and 23. Recently, Morgan Wallen has also been cleared to talk and sing after weeks-long vocal rest.
