I could tell you I would. Dogs or Cats always have some sort of reason for attacking and with time that reason can USUALLY be found and dealt with. With shelters being full though, most people arent willing to take the months and sometimes YEARS it takes to work through the problem when it comes to a cat, and even more so for dogs. Look at the ammount of time some people spend on "taming" birds, even after they have recieved sirious wounds. My mother had to go to the doctor a couple of times when she was working with her bird but she stuck with it, thanks to her he didn't have to be put down. I think the same could be done for dogs and cats both, it just takes dedication.
