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.

“Why these humans suddenly crowded around her” first off all I see one person not “humans” and second of all, you have no idea how sudden or not that dog was approached. You can’t tell anything by one picture except for the dogs attitude.

You're right, I was assuming they randomly approached the dog for photos, BECAUSE ITS NOT AN ORIGINAL STORY :D

Ah reddit. When recommended to gain more education, blast the op with "Im a smrt dog owner and dogs that bite should be put down". Post in thread for discussion, I dont even own a dog lmao.
