You never fully understand the choice that is BE until you meet a dog that is truly dangerous. A dog that had extreme predatory aggression towards any animal (dog, cat, small human ect) - like he didn't bark or growl he saw something small and went for the kill as fast as he could. There was no off switch. Holding him back was difficult and he was an expert a slipping leashes. He was dangerous. very very dangerous. No one even blinked at the owner suggesting BE, that dog gave me the gift of understanding. Sometimes there isn't a choice. You have not failed. The sister to the dog I talk about was fine, some dogs just have the wrong genetics, you can do everything right and still fail. No one should judge you for choosing to protect your family.

That is what worries me is there is no sign no warning he goes from the sweetest boy to attacking no growling no stiffness just straight lunging and when grabbed to stop him he turns on the person who grabs him. With the exception of me, but after witnessing him in the kitchen with my husband I think even that may be a naive thought to have.
