[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you have to get rid of the dog. There are lab rescues that will find the dog a family with adults only.

What were the circumstances of the bite? Have you consulted a trainer?

I have a zero tolerance policy with dogs and bites. One bite, and they are gone. But there are lots of people who will take a dog that's had an aggressive incident. As long as there are no children in the house, and they know the dog's trigger, then it's possible to have the dog adopted.

I'd try adopting the dog before putting him down, though.

Tell the kids you can't keep him because he bit someone, and you are worried he might bite someone else. Tell they you will find a loving home for him that will take care of him and he won't bite anyone else ever again.

It's tough OP, but your kids will get over the dog sooner than you think.

Get rid of dog toys, etc. so there are no reminders, and give them extra attention for a few days until they feel better. And tell them you can get another dog someday when they are older.

So sorry OP. I love my dog totally and would be devastated if I had to give him away, but if he bit someone, out he goes! [/quote]
