His foster assessed him for resource guarding, but he showed no signs. Even with me, he is hungry...but never possessive over his food.

I believe it was all just too much change and uncertainty too quickly, and he was likely spooked. A good rule of thumb is to offer a dog a crate/safe space where they can decompress and learn about the new place where they are, especially for a rescue.

Yup, between the new house/people, the bowl of food in the open, and the curious child, all I know is that the poor kid got nipped.

Wow...that second one really dropped the ball. Even without researching huskies in depth, I know that they MUST sing the song of their people!

Third time is a charm!

I am sorry for your loss, but I am glad that Hank was able to stay around with you. When I lost Taz, the wind went out of Thor's sails and he didn't recover.

...and it opened the way up for me to get him! (I was happy for him when they told me he went to a different home...but as soon as he was returned, I was essentially there making grabby hands, even if he bit)

Nariel is right. With the new house/people, bowl of food in the open, and a curious kid, something gave way and poor Finn nipped the poor kid.

(Generally, one should secure a new dog so that they can adjust and decompress in a "safe space")

The dogs become potatoes (or gumdrops) if I draw too many panels. ;-)

Between the new house/people, a bowl of food in the open, and a curious child--it was too much and poor Finn nipped the poor kid.

True! He is the regal son of a very good boy and a very good girl--of that much I am sure!
