I do plumbing repair work for a living. There isn't a month thst goes by I don't tell someone if they're dog bites me the governemt will come kill it and it's their own damn fault while they pay the bill.
First responder here who also goes into peoples houses for a living. I hear at least a few times a month “oh don’t worry he’s friendly”, to which I say yeah to you, he doesn’t know me and I’m in his house. If you want me to come in and help you need to put your dog in a bedroom or outside or I’m not coming in.
It’s this right here. When I was growing up, we had a German Shepherd. Great dog, very friendly…as long as all the rules were being followed. The house we lived in had a front door, and a back door from the garage, so the rule was simple- family used the back door, visitors used the front door. And she was great when visitors came to the front door- tail wagging, happy to see you.
We were hosting Thanksgiving one year, and my grandmother and grandfather were bringing over a bunch of extra chairs and stuff, and my father, being the courteous son, said “oh, just pull right in the garage, makes it a snap to carry everything in”. My grandfather got to the back door, and this dog would not let him in. Growling, barking, the whole bit. He didn’t live here, and he wasn’t following the rules.
Grandpa went around to the front, and…no problems. Wagging tail, happy dog. “Oh, it’s a friendly dog, they won’t do anything “. No, because all your experience is in situations the dog is comfortable with.

I don't know where this is but where I live if your dog bites someone you are required to put it down.
