[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm heartbroken. We have the fluffiest, cutest foster who (according to rescue) is a Great Pyrenees/spaniel mix. He has been very shy with my husband and I, but never showed any sign of aggression. We left him at home for an hour and came back with a person who he has never met. She approached him very very slowly, sat down on his level...and he chomped her arm. Not a playful mouthy chomp but a full on bite. Then she walked away and he did it again, on her hip. What do we do? Call the rescue and return him immediately?[/quote]

Is this your first dog you are fostering?  I would call the rescue and ask for advice although I honestly blame you more than the dog.  You knew the dog was nervous and yet you introduced a new person to them.  You set them up for failure and now the dog may pay.  Please don't foster any more dogs until  you get more training.[/quote]

OP don’t listen to this “it’s your fault” preaching extremist. You did nothing wrong. A fair percentage of rescue dogs, unfortunately, are homeless due to aggression. You have to let the rescue know what happened and get the dog out of your home today. This is tragic but NOT your fault:[/quote]

Just curious pp if there is ever a scenario where you take responsibility for your actions[/quote]
