What makes a dog bite?

I think we all have disagreements, but I think when coming to disagreements we should all be civil towards one another. (not directed at anyone specifically)
I've been following this thread and I think it's gotten a bit out of hand.... it's gotten to be way different then the thread originally started. I think if anyone has a problem with anyone else, PM each other or possibly block one another. No reason to get into useless bantering back and forth. I think many of us have said what needs to be said and the rest should be in PM, rather than taking over the OP.
Pet Talk is a friendly place meant to enjoy each other and our pets and to learn. Let's keep it this way.

Agreed. I apologize for getting off topic. And I'm finished.

Or rather simply put;

opinions are like buttholes. everyone has one.

as for the present topic of WHAT MAKES A DOG BITE i really have no clue. i guess it depends on the dog an the situation/s.
but glad to hear it wasnt a very serious bite none of the less. *hugs*

Somehow I find this funny, but I'm sitting downstairs reading through posts and I can hear my hubby upstairs in bed with Walter calming him down cause he's having a freak out. It happens, and I think he’s entitled to do so!

Here's the thing, you can't say it's not ok to put Walter down cause of his puppy mill horror, but it is ok for another dog. They ALL have reasons for what they do and we can't possibly know why.

Unless a dog is a SERIOUS threat to a human, then just simply PTS is not an option. On a much lesser note, it's like saying my car broke down once, have it crushed. I mean seriously, they are not objects they are not just things! They have feelings, emotions, good and bad days.

And again, I get that a lot of people on here have 'their' breeds. If you are thinking about buying from a pet store, PLEASE remember what I've said about Walter. His life was APPALLING. If you love your breed, go to a rescue (who usually have puppies) or to a breeder that truly wants to better the breed and did the appropriate genetic testing. If all else fails, come to ME! Give me a couple months and I WILL find the dog for you within a 50 mile radius. I try not to preach, but awareness is the only way. You will love a rescue pup just as much!

Who knew that a little chomp from a pooch could turn into so much craziness??
