So what you're saying here is that because you are not responsible enough
to train your dog not to eat upholstery (leaving aside the issue that you
are valuing furniture more than the life of your dog) that you want to 
push some of your guilt onto us and maybe someone will save your dog.

When you bought this dog which is part lab, what did you expect?  These are
very rambunctious dogs for the first few years of their life.  But they are
also highly intelligent and trainable.  The chow mix helps that too, my chows
were house broken in less than a week.

I suggest that you go and save your dog.  Then take care of it until you can
find a suitable home for it.  If the dog is killed, it is your fault, not ours.
