We need to talk about what is and is not an appropriate, porportional response a dog may give to any percieved provocation. Stable, healthy dogs who want a behavior to stop will cycle through several behaviors (whale eye, lip licking, moving away, growling, etc) before ever trying to give a warning nip to an individual (person, dog, or other) that is bothering them A stable, healthy dog will not chase after an individual bothering them once the behavior stops/is corrected. Chasing after and attempting to maul a child to death is not an appropriate response to anything that child could have been doing. Holding a child by the neck and attempting to kill them is NOT OK. Irregardless of what the child MAY have been doing. If you blame that little girl for being attacked in this situation, shame on you. Your priorities are fucked. #dog #dogsoftiktok #redditstories #aita #heywhatthefuck #dogbehavior #dogattacks
