Not to step on any toes here, but for the average owner it is so very easy to miss certain signals. Chewie is my 2nd rottie and came to us almost a year ago. I had never had a young rottie and was not really prepared for him. Anyways, we thought we were handling him well right up till the time he lunged at a stranger on the street. Had we not been in the middle of training him to heel, he would have connected with this guys arm, but the leash was short and we caught him. Since then we have had him assessed and have learned to read him and any other dog for aggression. I even went to a 2 day seminar on dog aggression just so "I" would feel more comfortable.
Most people just think that if you feed them and house them they should be fine. I know that is soooo not true.
Hope your wounds are healing and you are recovering
