I should have answered my own questions.

If the tables were turned, and some dog (any breed) came out of no where and attacked my little 5 month old pup Parker and killed him - you had better believe that other dog isn't leaving that situation alive. There is no way I can fathom the terror that poor owner experienced, watching her little dog being tortured and mutilated like that. :( My heart goes out to her.

Now, of course, my Parker would never attack another dog. I am a proud owner and a very responsible one. I am socializing him and having him professionally trained. I have been working with him on bite inhibition. He is never left outside unattended. His parents both have temperament titles and working titles. I did my homework. I am doing everything in my power to ensure that he is an ambassador to the breed and for dogs in general.

However, if Parker ever did do something this horrible? I would put him to sleep. It isn't fair to put my community at risk or to terrorize those around me. Nor would I want a dog like that in my home.
