[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've posted here a few times recently about my new dog, a rescue, who we adopted in January.  Things have been going pretty well but tonight I am so upset because G (the dog) snapped at my 7 yo DS' face.  :cry:   He's physically ok but was crying and very shaken up.  They were laying on the floor right in front of me but I didn't see exactly what went down because I was talking to my DD.  But my DS said that G was licking his face, and when he pushed her head away to stop her, she lunged to bite his face.  I am so distraught.  We are very much bonded to this dog now and i can't imagine not having her but my trust in her is shot. I love her but my kids come first, obviously.  My DS was asking to get rid of her after this happened but by the end of the night they were sitting together and cuddling on the couch (with me right there of course). but  I'm not always going to be right there.  My kids are 7 and 10 and G is supposedly 2 years old (though I think she's younger) and  it's just not the norm for me to always have my kids in my line of sight. I think I know what we have to do but am looking for reassurance that maybe giving her back to the rescue isn't a given and we can work through this.  She does have a habit of biting during play which we are working to train her out of. I'm so confused right now, any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.[/quote]

No question the dog would be given back to rescue.[/quote]
