Not sure about that,Sen. I don't think a bite would necessarily result in a dog being put down, I think circumstances are taken into account. But unprovoked and serious attacks do often result in a dog being euthanised.

I do firmly believe that there are far too many people owning dogs who aren't suitable to be dog-owners and, sadly, it's the dog who suffers - often terminally - when owners' failures result in injuries or death for humans or other animals. Come to that, I think there are far, far too many dogs, but that's another discussion I think.

The usual disclaimers apply......IMHO, YMMV etc.
