Please help me decide. My best friends dog has bitten my son. This is not the first time the dog has bitten anyone. The dog bit me first. I had never done anything to the dog except scold her for barking. As far as I know it has bitten 3 diiferent people. I didn't count one because it was in her home and the dog may have been being protective, but at the same time it was a child. We have known this dog since a puppy but still acts as if we're new. She said that she would have the dog put down, which maybe a problem for our relationship. It's her husbands dog, (he's in Iraq) and has had to have so many dogs put down for some reason or another. Some have been medical reasons and some have been behavior problems. Part of me says he may contribute to the dogs behavior by rough play. Not only will he be upset with her but also with me. I hate to create friction between all of us, but this is unaccceptable. The animal lover in me says don't put the dog down, part of it is that they may be bad pet owners. So who should I blame, him or the dog? Do I demand that she give the dog away to people that don't have children or are not going to be around children or do I allow and demand her to put the dog down?
