I don’t care WHO the dog is...you do NOT stick your face in its face!!! Stupid, stupid human. I wouldn’t even get as close as she did, after the dog had been through the trauma of the day(s) before. I made that mistake once too. SAME thing happened, only to my hand. I STILL LOVE DOGS WITH A PASSION but you don’t enter their space like that. It’s HER fault. She was ignorant to that fact, but that doesn’t change anything.
She stuck her face right in the dog’s face. Not smart. She didn’t even know the dog.
Big mistake. Dog doesn’t know her, and she has her hands all over his muzzle, just really over doing it with the petting. Around a dogs mouth is very sensitive and I think he was saying enough already. I wouldn’t even call it a viscous attack. But a big heavy dog like that, a jab like that would be like getting punched. I’m sorry for her but you should always keep your distance from a strange dog.
Judge will most likely have it euthanized. Liberals love to kill animals. On a couple of those animal cop shows, instead of adopting a dog out, they tie a rubber glove on a board and shove it against the dog’s face until it snaps while eating from a bowl. Then they announce they are going to euthanize it because it can’t be trusted “around children”.
I don’t care who you are, you DO NOT stick your face in front of an Argentinian Dogo dog! That was just a little friendly nip. I have a little cat that does that.
I’ve been in a “bad dog” training course for folks like utility meter readers and such. The lady running the course raised a champion German shepherd attack dog, Bulli Ray. This gal once survived an attack by three Rottweilers at a dog farm because she knows dogs and doesn’t take crap from nobody.
They would bring a couple dogs like a Belgian Malinois and a Rottweiler and let them chomp on a member of the audience who was wearing the heavy bite-proof gear. They did not let anyone get near the Dogo, no way, nowhow. Big, dumb-looking white dog with all the patience in the world. Until you turn your back. I think they are the go-to dog where pit bulls are banned and folks want a tougher dog. They were bred to hunt things like wild boar and jaguars (and eat them for lunch). If you see a fairly big short-haired white dog (with chest muscles like Arnold in his heyday), think about going the other way, but do not turn your back.
They were breed from Great Pyrenees, Irish Wolfhound, Pointer, Great Dane, Dogue de Bordeaux, Boxer, Spanish Mastiff, Bulldog, Bull Terrier and the (now extinct) Cordoba fighting dog.
It’s corrective action by the dog. Everything was going fine until the lady got the date of Valentine’s Day wrong. Bad lady! Valentine’s Day is February 14’th.
Does anyone know if Max has had a legal defense fund established. Can I donate?
You really have to not be thinking to stick your face right up to a dog that’s been recently traumatized by an attack. You just don’t do that. That she’s been living as long as she has been and has never learned that fact, amazes me.
I have only ever done that to dogs that know me very, very well, and that I can read and know their history. And I probably would not even do that to one that was a pit bully-type dog, even if they were always nice to me.
Another example of a similar mistake...

They try to explain it, or excuse it, as a trained reaction
but imho it is an instinctive reaction.

Should have left the dog on the ice.
It would behoove people who have regular (or semi-regular) contact with certain animals to take the time to learn the behavior and body language of that animal before interacting with it.
But common sense is increasingly uncommon.
