Reply #4: The law says every dog

is entitled to one free bite.

After that, he's a "biter," and just might get the Green Needle.

But, if this dog is that dangerous, you're inviting trouble if he ever gets near anyone again, and hurts them. It sounds like there are a lot of things wrong with the poor fellow, and if his reputation is known - that he's "violent" - you would face some serious civil suits if he ever bit anyone again.

I'm a dog-lover, but it sounds to me like putting him down might be a deliverance. The one thing I know about dogs like this is that they cannot have that kind of behavior trained out of them.

Right now, you probably should not let him be around anyone. Sounds like the presence of other people raises his anxiety level. That's dangerous.

Damn, but you've got a problem. I wish you luck.
