When I watched "Deadly Protection", I wondered if this is really a serious issue. Sure, you hear a lot about pit bulls and I've seen the statistics on people killed by these dogs, but what about trained protection dogs? Do they sometimes, like in this episode, go nuts and kill children or their owners? I am not being critical--just wondering if this is a real issue or just something made up by the folks that wrote the "Quincy" show. I do know that there really is no consistency among what constitutes a protection dog and how they are trained, as my family looked into one some time ago.
This show begins with a new protection dog being brought home by a widower. Suddenly and without warning, the dog climbs its kennel fence and attacks the man's daughter--ripping her to shreds! Quincy gets involved when he is assigned to do an autopsy on the girl. As usual, following this, Quincy is angry and on a rampage--and he vents his rage on the kennel that trained his maniac dog. However, Quincy is premature--as there is MUCH more to the case and the kennel was behaving very responsibly. So what gives? While this has less investigating than I prefer in a "Quincy" episode, it was well written and interesting. My only complaint I mentioned above--I have no idea is trained protection dogs really kill people. Regardless, it is entertaining and worth seeing. The only weakness--when Quincy wanted to talk to the media about the dog attack, they weren't interested! Surely Nancy Grace or someone like her would have shown some interest!
By the way, although Quincy's rat-like dog is a major character in this show, like so many TV shows, you never see the character again after this show!
