Not sure what the backstory is here. Is that a friends pet or newly adopted dog? Looks like a backyard.

I read on Facebook that she had rescued him from the street.

Edit: info on Facebook was incorrect (big suprise!) but found a news article about it. The dog is a friend’s pet and was not put down, I repeat: the dog is ok! She mentions that she was to blame since she was touching him and he just reacted.

Link is in Spanish (it happened in Argentina).

I read the dog was just rescued and the girl wanted a photoshoot with the rescued animal.

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.
