decem - If that dog attacked someone within one month of being in a home, it will do it agina. You can't reason with an animal and tell it it did a bad thing and should never do it again. In the dog's eyes, it felt the need, for whatever reason, to attack. Since it was unhurt and accomplished it's goal of wounding it's target, it will be bolder in it's next attack. Do you want that attack to be on you or your kids. The animal needs to be put down for public safety. If the law won't do it, I will. I wouldn't enjoy it. I wouldn't look forward to it. But it has to be done. Get off your high horse.
