WHAT CAN I DO WITH THIS DOG?

[NoreeneBenfort]

I am 68 years old, and I recently (2 months ago) lost my 14 year old Golden Retriever, and i went on Craigslist to search for another companion as i was lonely and lived alone. I saw a gorgeous Golden Retriever that was 3 years old, he was described as a friendly dog with no aggression at all and he is house trained, i contacted the lady and she agreed to meet me at my home with the dog. A very pretty, nice, talkative young lady and her clean cut, quiet but friendly boyfriend showed up at my home with the Golden Retriever...They seemed like very trust worthy people. We sat and chatted for an hour, the dog was FANTASTIC and well behaved.. But once the couple left the dog turned in to a DEMON.. He has bitten me (And has drawn blood!) more times than i can count (On my face, arms, and legs - He doesn't bite in a friendly or playful way, in an aggressive way), if i even walk in the same room as the dog he lunges at me and snarls at me, he pees and poops all over my house (Even after i take him outside!), he has killed multiple wild animals while out in my yard, he is just HELL. I cant believe these people scammed me, they seemed so nice! I gave them $250 for the dog and driving him over! I am 68 years old, i cant handle this stress! Is there anything i can do? Any suggestions ANYTHING? Can i get back at these people!?
I have tried contacting these people, but all they say is "He is your problem now!".

I feel so sorry for you. I think most people would have that dog put down as it is vicious. I would call a vet and see if they can do anything, probably not but at least it's a start. If that doesn't work, you might be able to try a dog trainer. They might work, as it might be a behavioral problem. I know a dog that had behavioral problems but he wasn't as bad. Good luck, it's a real shame. I hope you get it sorted out.
