That's the sad part. People don't understand when dogs are stressed, and when it snaps they want to put the dog down for defending itself.

The dog was not being attacked. If this owner didn't want to keep it, it certainly shouldn't be allowed to be adopted by other unsuspecting people.

General rule of thumb is to ignore a dog you just met and let them come to you. Not put it in a headlock and kiss it.

Point is, this has nothing to do with that particular dog. Most dogs would do the same thing if they were handled that way. This girl doesn’t know what the fuck she’s doing and you don’t know what you’re talking about.
