Re: Dog Attacks Man Performing CPR on Owner; Both Men Die
I don't keep track, but I know more people with scars from Labradors than from Pit Bulls. This dog didn't attack the guy because of it's breed. It wasn't unstable, it was acting like a normal dog acts when it's family member is in distress and under threat. Dogs do not understand what CPR is . . . . . |

Re: Dog Attacks Man Performing CPR on Owner; Both Men Die
If the dog had only bitten the guy, there might have been some leeway. Because the guy died, that puts an almost definite end to that dog's life. I don't even know how it would work out if you were attacked in your home and your dog protected you, killing the intruder. I could see how they'd say that the dog is proven to be dangerous, because it DID kill someone. Depending on the local laws and who's calling the shots, your "hero" may have to be destroyed. So scary to think about. |

Re: Dog Attacks Man Performing CPR on Owner; Both Men Die
I hate to say it but would anyone trust a dog regardless of breed knowing it had killed someone? I certainly wouldn't and I think the authorities have a duty to euthanize the pooch... |

Re: Dog Attacks Man Performing CPR on Owner; Both Men Die
No. Especially if it was someone else's dog. The problem is, once it's crossed that line, you have to be very vigilant. The dog may be more sensitive to threats. Dogs get emotionally damaged from stressful events. If they get attacked while on a walk, they may hate other dogs after that, even if super friendly before they were attacked. It would at least need to be evaluated by a knowledgable professional, on multiple occasions. I can see how on most(if not all) cases, the dog is put down. |
