Someone posted this on another forum I visit. Do you think this dog should be put down/given away? As far as I am concerned there is a difference between a dog who bites because it is being abused & one who bites unprovoked.
Last night our dog bit my dh. Chloe is a 9 yr old rott mix and she has always been the sweetest most loving dog. We get so many compliments on what a great dog she is, she has never ever been the least bit aggressive until now.
Dh was so angry last night that he was ranting and raving about how he was going to shoot her or put her to sleep and he even kicked her, which is so out of character for him. My older dd was in tears over the whole thing. She was sad that her dad was bleeding and sad because she thinks Chloe is going to die. This morning Chloe slowly tried walking into our bedroom and he yelled for her to GET OUT. She went back to the living room and laid on her bed. She looked so sad.
I''m just so shocked that this happened. Why would a wonderful dog suddenly bite their favorite family member? I''m wondering if anyone else had something like this happen and what you did about it? I don''t really think my dh would put her to sleep but we do have to think of the safety of our children.

I did not see what happened but dh said she went poop in the front yard - where she''s not supposed to go. ( We have our backyard fenced in and that is where she has been trained to go. We have a big front and side yard for the kids to play so we don''t want her doing her business there.) So dh grabbed her by her collar to drag her over to where she pooped to tell her no. She got scared I guess and tried to run away. Dh grabbed her again and pulled her over to the poop and she bit him in the hand. She bit hard enough that he was bleeding in two places!
