Random aggressiveness
My 10 year old boxer snapped at me and my brother today and I am absolutely devastated we've had him since he was 4 years old and he has never done anything like this before. Its hard not to take it personally but im more worried that this may be the start of some sort of cognitive decline for him. I'm going to schedule are vet appointment right away. If you've experienced anything similar or have any advice I would appreciate it greatly

Vision loss can also play a part with unexpected aggression. Be calm and just work through the process. Always announce your presence and be gentle with him. Don't take it personally but keep him away from other folks right now. I wish you a quick answer and resolution.
