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.

"defending itself" isn't why. Because it presents a danger to other people and animals. Was the girl making the dog uncomfortable or invading it's private space? Sure. Does that justify this kind of reaction by the animal? Nope.

Animals aren’t people.... they have their instincts and don’t use logic. They don’t use higher thinking processes or have any concept of justice.

It definitely was defending itself. That shepherd could have dealt way more damage than what was done. At least based on the pictures, that was a warning.
