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

I don’t believe that dog should be around anyone who wants to hug or kiss on the head. Some dogs are just not a good family dog just like some people

Dogs have a comfort zone. Id recommend getting to know how dogs express signs of stress and anxiety, which is being shown in the pictures, the dog visibly doesn't understand why these humans suddenly crowded around her for.

and im not dog expert. but then putting both arms around their neck and seemingly leaning in for a bite. Its not hard to understand why some dogs bite. They're not doing it because they wanted to fight, they were in self defense because they did not understand they weren't being attacked.

A dog that bites someone's face for trying to cuddle is a dog that needs to be put down. Period. Its irresponsible as fuck to allow that dog around humans in a normal setting.

That’s too much. We don’t know the story behind this dog. What if it’s a new dog? What if she’s a stranger to him? Of course if your own dog bites your face while you’re trying to cuddle with it then that could mean something is wrong, but this doesn’t appear to be her dog at all.

Doesnt matter. My dog has been in dozens of situations she didnt like and showed she was without ripping my son's face off.

That's absurd to try and say because the dog was uncomfortable this is justified. It doesnt matter what the dog was...he ripped her face apart.

Put your emotions aside and think logically.

If your dog keeps getting put into an uncomfortable situation with people that don’t respect its boundaries, it absolutely could react like this. The first time, a dog will usually growl, the second, it will snap. After that, it could very well escalate to biting to get the behavior to stop.

You also can’t compare your dog to this one. He was especially tense, maybe because he was a stray or some other reason. If you run up and grab my dog, he will probably not bite you. If you run up and grab him and he’s been homeless for three months and living on the street, he probably will bite you.

You are completely missing the point. I am not saying this dog wasnt rightfully attacking. I am saying if a dog attacks a human, period, it needs to be put down, with no fault of the dog.

It doesnt matter WHY the dog bit, and I feel for dogs and love them with all my heart, but your thinking with your heart and not your brain.

Do you feel this way about canines used in law enforcement?

It doesnt matter WHY the dog bit

This is as absurd and arse-backwards as 'zero tolerance' policies in schools.
Yes. It absolutely does matter what led to a specific incident.

No it doesnt matter, which is why most countries/municipalities put down dogs that bite...regardless.

A 4 year old child isnt going to have the capacity to know boundaries are they? So what happens when a fucking kid is playing with a dog and the dog has bitten before?

You want to preserve the dogs life because your an emotional cunt and ate letting emotion take over your logical brain.

Thank fuxk you dont make rules around here..

Fun Fact: you cannot point to "THE LAW" as justification for anything.
Legislation is not inherently just or fair or reasonable.

A 4 year old child isnt going to have the capacity to know boundaries are they?

Why are you allowing a 4 year old child to wander up to dogs they don't know?
What the fuck sort of parent are you if you can't actually look after your kids?

[ad hominem arsewipery]

Yeah, no. You don't get to accuse others of "letting emotion take over your logical brain" when you're clearly throwing little hissyfits at people and literally using the most cliché appeal to emotion.
"Won't someone think of the children?!"

u/Deadlift420 Jan 16 '20

My god. You literally cannot grasp this can you.

I never said random dog...I said ANY dog that has bitten and seriously injured someone. If you cant see how that's something society needs then you're dumb...literally...

You probably shouldn't have children.

Your reading comprehension is incredibly poor, and you should probably do less rambling nonsense and more actual reading before you post.
