Owner Attacked by Dog and Loses Arms: Was it Provoked or Out of the Blue?

79. I don't know why the pit bull bit off her arms

And I certainly have not researched the subject. But I do agree with the viewpoint that it is up to the human owner to train their dog to be safe and socialized. I once was bitten by a kind of hound dog and it was the owner's fault. She had it on the kind of leash where it stretches out for a whole block. The dog chased me and bit my wrist. She did not yell to stop it or control it. I went to the ER to make sure it did not cause an infection and I was sent to animal control. By the time I got home, she told me she had the dog euthanized because she was told she was at risk of being sued, and she also had her daughter's toddler in her home. I felt horrible, but then I did not want to play Ninja everytime I walked outside. (She lived right below me in an apartment).

Then a while later, she had bought a kind of german shepard or doberman mix. It was only about 8 months old or so. When I walked past her door one day, the dog was standing up on its hind legs baring its teeth. When I saw the lady again, I told her she should get the dog trained. But she just ignored me. I think this lady did not properly raise her dogs, they had a lot of fear inside of them and were not socialized. I still feel horrible every time I think of the dog being euthanized and I believe it was the owner's fault.
