[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our dog bit a stranger that reached down suddenly to pet him. We put our dog down even though he was up to date on shots and we felt he was provoked in the situation.[/quote]A little bit extreme don't you think, unless the dog bit the persons arm off? If someone reached down suddenly and you yourself feel that the dog was provoked, why kill the dog? Whenever I meet someone that I know with their dog I always ask first if it's OK for me to pet the dog. And if they say it's OK, I slowly put out my hand and let the dog sniff it first before stroking it.

No, not extreme. A dog who harms a person should be put down. Unless you feel dogs are more important than people.[/quote]No, I absolutely do not feel that dogs are more important than people. As a matter of fact, I feel that the majority of pet owners spend too much money on Vet bills and treat their animals too much like people, which they are not. However, the person said that the stranger reached down suddenly and they felt that the dog was provoked. But it's the dog that was killed for doing what comes naturally to dogs. If the dog had run after some kid and bit him, I could see putting it down but not from the information given in this particular case.
