(1,875 posts)Any dog can have their "attack cycle" activated. I have lived with dogs my entire 6 decades and have seen it. Nothing like watching your buddies the family beagles tear apart a wild rabbit to let you know they are predators. For some reason these large powerful dogs have triggered on these people as prey targets, even their owners.
But someone who keeps proven dangerous dogs should be made completely liable for them. Keeping a dog with a history of attacks is no different than keeping any predator like a wolf or a lion.
You can not always tell what will set them off. And some individual dogs have more of a "wild" attack streak than others.
The problem with these large and powerful dog breeds is their potential lethal attack.
By the way, I have 4 dogs now (two plus two adopted from a deceased friend) and I have been seriously attacked twice in my life. Once when I was 10 by a neighbors coon hound took 28 stitches to close up.
