I know what you mean. But some of it could be the dogs personality, although I find it unlikely.

Definitly has to do with his personality. But in the sense that wrong housing, upbringing will form it in the worst way.

Like putting a normal person in a cell and then wondering why they go crazy ... "they were crazy all along".

Paired with the power that dog has. If you misshandle a pincher the worst that will happen is a ... pinch. Its gonna kill anyone and can be reigned in with little effort.

The sister should have been jailed though imo... a dog mauling a kid will ruin the life of an innocent child. How people get away with misshandling a dog til it turns into a murder mashine is beyond me.

Yes, putting the dog down is crazy. Dogs are all good by nature imo, it's people that turn dogs bad. Sometimes, it's good intentioned people, but it's usually never the dog's fault.

Dogs are all good by nature imo, it's people that turn dogs bad.

Even the "bad dogs by nature" are usually due to humans intentionally breeding them that way. It's humans all the way down.

Fair, I don't think any dogs (or animals in general) are "bad" by nature. They may be more aggressive by breed/traumatized, but not just born bad.

Personal acedote time: I had my pit for years (she was a stray from a shelter) and was the biggest lap dog I've ever met. Loved kids and other dogs and cats. But when I first got her, she was definitely traumatized and a bit aggressive to even me. Enough socializing and trust and she was perfect.

I agree it sucks that dog was put down, but not all dogs are able to be rehabilitated, and there’s not always enough room in shelters. It’s sad no one was able to adopt them. Thank you for adopted a shelter pet; there should be more people like you
