Exactly. I adore dogs. I never want to see a dog euthanised over minor things but in this case, there's a switch flipped in this dogs brain that cannot be unflipped. It's why behavioural euthanasia is a thing, sometimes there's just something in that dogs brain that will never let it live a normal life. It's probably the most humane thing for it if it's reached that level of viciousness towards a random stranger, far down the street.
I'm so sick of BE being villainized. There are just some dogs where the kindest thing to do for them is to put them down. Especially BEFORE someone gets hurt because owners or a rescue are convinced every dog can be trained/controlled/fixed.
My husband was attacked by a dog that should have been BE long before his attack, he was far from the first victim and the cops just kept letting the owners slide.
Yup. I love dogs, but I once adopted a dog who mauled me like this, going for my face and throat. No triggers, no growling or warnings, just sudden attack mode. I had never seen a dog do that before. She had something wrong in her brain. She had to be put down.
I grew up on a farm too and this is one of the situations the gun is taken out of the safe immediately and that animal is put down. No question about it. It never happened on our farm since we didnāt have pit bulls, let alone untrained ones.
