Re: Davie Florida Attack

I guess it may depend on the individual dog. I do not think my dog would attack a non-threatening person. HOWEVER my dog is NEVER left outside unattended. You learn something new everyday .
How would the dog know that this person was non-threatening? The kid climbed over the 6 ft fence and likely did so quickly. I am guessing that action alone caught the dogs attention in a big way because I doubt it is normal to them to have people climbing over the fence to enter the yard. When I was living with my dog and another Rott my roomates we all were locked out of the house and had to break in through a window. While we were talking to the dogs the entire time they were both on edge to say the least simply because of the noise and the fact we were coming in through a window. Granted they didn't bit or attack us but they were barking and obviously concerned about what the heck was going on. Dogs are smart but I don't think they understood that we were locked out and had to come in via the window.
