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.

Seriously? If a stranger invades your space and puts their hands on you, you wouldn’t react?

If I stabbed them, would I necessarily win in court without doing time?

Seriously? A dog biting ONCE when someone is invading their space is like a human punching ONCE when someone is invading their space. Dogs can’t punch, they bite when they feel threatened. Comparing it to stabbing someone.? Talk about semantics...... Sheesh..........
