I completely understand. Sorry but dogs are not human. Period. I know many animal lovers would angrily disagree with me but just look at any pet owners who suffered from pet attacks. Their typical response - "omfg!! wtf!! I never thought it would happen!! he/she's like our family member!!! <sob sob sob>" My simple response - that's what you get for not respecting the nature.
I adore my dog like my baby son but he's still a dog and I treat him with respect to nature and I treat him in exact order - Exercise, Discipline, and Love. It works for me as a dog owner and it works for me as dog behaviorist at Animal Shelter. My dog bit my mom & my brother one time and it drew blood. Of course - they were very surprised. He has never bitten me even once. Just saying - never say never.
