The answer to that, for me anyway, would definitely be "Yes." It is not the wisdom of training a rottweiller to be a therapy dog that people are questioning (I don't think), but the wisdom of taking a dog around somewhat fragile people that has already inflicted injury on it's owner. I know she says he accidentally bit her, but it also says he ripped tendons and broke several bones, so I wonder if it was really a quick one bite type of thing, or a more prolonged incident.
