Not in "epidemic" amounts though. And it is always the owners fault of course. It takes a lot of horrible treatment to fuck up a dog badly. We foster a lot of dogs and ones that come in completely fucked up usually turn normal with a lot of tlc. But yes, some are screwed. Even dogs that have been beaten, on a half meter chain, in a shed in the heat for years, they still turn out out ok and don't usually bite even on first approach. You have to know how to approach ofcourse: cops with drawn guns hovering over them probably would not be ideal.
Dogs that are too far gone should be put down: they basically will bite and attack anyone and anything. Still not their fault but they are gone.
- marcosdumay 5y agoIt does not take a fucked-up dog for it to be dangerous. All dogs are capable of attacking strangers. It doesn't matter that they are lovable creatures that never showed any signals of violence, then can change in seconds if them deem the situation bad enough (and what is a bad situation for a dog is really not intuitive for humans).
- edgyquant 5y agoNot all protective dogs are vicious. My dog is very friendly and allows people to let her, you wouldn’t think she would bite anyone. She has bit exactly one person and that person kicked my gate down on my front door attempting to burglarize my belongings. Am I at “fault” because my dog defends what she knows is our home from a total stranger she knows doesn’t belong?
