Every year, National Alcohol Screening Day raises awareness about the harmful effects of alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency. Each year on the Thursday of the first full week in April, these screens offer anonymous and confidential opportunities for those with addiction to seek help.

Addiction impacts not only the person, but their jobs, families, and communities, too. Screening is a large part of outreach programs. These programs bring an opportunity for education, referrals, and treatment to those with alcohol dependency issues.

My friend says she has a violent dog who tried to eat their cat and will attack or bite literally everyone except for the dad (it's a dad and his two young adults children). They tried to get professional intervention but it didn't work. They can't re-home the dog because it has a bite record. They don't want to euthanize him.

Since nobody else can safely interact with the dog, the dog is kept in a crate whenever the dad is at work and also when dinner is prepared and eaten. Which is like 630am-5pm and 630-9pm. I can empathize with the situation of keeping the family safe but it does seem like a little much even though the crate is comfortable with food, water, and toys. Does anyone have any advice I can send over to my friend?
