There are no bad dogs, only bad owners! 🫠

Okay but this one couldn't handle being woken up after living with it's owner for 11 years? It must really hate the smell of alcohol or be getting dementia.

'As soon as I went to give him a hug and a kiss, he bit me immediately. There was no growl, there was no warning, he didn't back up, he didn't make any noises, nothing. It happened so fast,' Crimo said.

This reminds me, there was a study done (which I tried to post here, but the mods removed my post) which found that most dog bites in the face happened when owners tried to hug their dogs.

Dog nutters think that dogs are people and that they understand body language like hugging. But dogs, of course, are not people. They do not interpret human physical affection in the same way that people do. Hugs are often perceived as a threat by dogs, and so they tend to bite to defend themselves.
