While I know what you mean - different breeds have varying degrees to which they are prone to aggression - many people don't realize that any dog can be aggressive under the proper circumstances. And I often wonder how many dog owners have any real understanding and knowledge of the animal. Not a lot I think.
Thanks for your replies. I was not thinking it through.
As you have said, who knows how they were treated before? I can just picture some lowlife trying to “train” them for dogfighting.
Prayers for that woman’s family.
We currently have a shelter cat whom I suspect was abused. Very skittish. The husband got him in May and is still not allowed to pick him up! I keep telling the cat, “You don’t know what you’re missing”. DH is a major cat spoiler.
