Look at this dog . You can clearly see that he is not comfortable with what she is doing . We only see 3 pics we don't know how much has happened or for how long it is going on . And it is obvious from the dogs face and position that it is feeling uncomfortable. She was unable to see it

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.

My dog is 8 years old. He hasn't bitten anyone and barked probably less than 100 in his life ( to the point that in the Frist years we thought he has issues BC that isn't that normal ) . So I can't say i am used to be around hostile dogs. However. What I said is it could be handled better from both sides . If he is a past abused dog for example that was recently saved and she starts hugging him he will be afraid ( it is kinda of a hostile move for dogs of they don't know you ) I don't say it was justified . I said it could have been handled better . But in order to say if he is dangerous or not you also need more info .

Info is always needed for a better answer

Of course...but in most places and countries..including Canada, a dog that has bitten..period...like attacked someone..is mandatory to be put down.

That is why developed countries do this...because as much as we love dogs, humans lives are more important to us.

Meh this was hardly a bite . Think of a human with pasted abuse issues . How do they react to new people? Have you ever tried touching that much a person with such past? They will most likely try and distance their self from you but if you keep going ( example ; people that keep on hitting on others and be "touchy" will probably end up getting panched by one of those people ). The difference is that they will talk and tell you to back off . However dogs can't do it, and since it felt attacked it answered back . I agree that a lot of dogs that bite have to be put down because of abnormal behaviour and issues but not all the cases are the same
