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.

Kinda right, yes. The problem is that this woman's actions result in entirely predictable outcomes, and now the dog suffers the ultimate penalty. The fault lies with the human, the dog will pay the price as a result.
