If a dog bites you once, you can’t keep it again.

“This dog must be sold after biting someone”, “Would it bite someone if the child hadn’t teased it with food?” I just got up in the morning and heard two elderly people from the neighbor’s house arguing. I went over to see that it was their golden retriever that bit the child, and the old couple was arguing about how to deal with the dog.
After seeing the wound on the child’s hand and the bloody toilet paper in the trash can, I hurriedly said: “Hurry up and send the child to the hospital for rabies vaccination! Stop arguing about the disposal of the dog.”
Indeed, there is a saying among the people that dogs that bite their owners cannot be kept. In rural areas, the general fate of dogs that bite people is to be hanged and eaten. Many people in the village deal with it this way.
But is this saying really credible? Why can’t dogs that bite people be kept? Obviously, dogs are very docile and loyal animals, so why do they bite people? Is this superstition?

Why can’t dogs that bite people be kept?

Bloody

We all know that the ancestors of Chinese pastoral dogs are East Asian wolves. They have very strong fighting ability. After entering Australia, they became dingoes and became the top animal in the local food chain.
Once a dog bites a person, it means that the dog still has a trace of blood. Since there is a first time, there is a high probability that there will be a second time. Such a dog will not only bite the owner, but also bite other people.

Rabies

Once a dog has rabies, it will be difficult to stabilize its emotions and become manic and restless. Once a dog has rabies, the disease will develop rapidly and it is difficult to cure. It should be dealt with quickly to prevent harm to others and yourself.
Rabies is very terrible. Since there is no effective treatment now, the mortality rate is as high as 100% whether it is in the early or late stages. Generally, the disease will occur within 3 months after infection, and there are also more than half a year or a year, and even the longer incubation period can reach more than 6 years before the disease occurs.

Not knowing how to be grateful (disloyal)

We all know that dogs are very grateful and loyal to their owners. Once a dog bites its owner, it means that the dog is disloyal. Not only will they not realize their mistakes, they will not feel any guilt, but they will feel that they are superior to humans and have a sense of superiority.
This sense of superiority will promote the second bite. They may even feel that they have become the boss after biting their owner. Once you hit them, they will retaliate against you.

These situations cannot be blamed on the dog

Normal physiological reactions

When the dog is guarding food, protecting puppies, accidentally stepping on a dog, or accidentally biting the little owner because of playing, these are all normal physiological reactions of the dog. They must not be intentional, and this is not a manifestation of disloyalty.
Such a dog can continue to stay with you, but you must teach it a lesson in time. You can use a doll to show it the consequences of biting the owner.

The dog does not regard you as the owner

The thinking of dogs and humans is different. Humans know how to be grateful, but the thinking of dogs is very simple. They do not know what gratitude is. Generally, everything they do is based on obedience.
Because dogs have a serious hierarchy, they sometimes just treat you as a person who provides food, and do not recognize that you are all its own. This is also related to your attitude and companionship towards it. Once it does not recognize you, it will guard the food, bar its teeth, and even bite people.

Self-defense instinct

Dogs are very concerned about their territory. Once they see someone invading their territory, they will attack people. This is also closely related to the improper training of the owner.
Especially when the owner is violent and does not feed the dog, it will have an unbalanced psychological development and will be afraid of people. At this time, it is easy for it to bite people in self-defense.

Conclusion

Therefore, the main reason why dogs bite people is still the owner, because the owner has not established his dominant position, which leads to the dog mistakenly believing that his status is higher than the owner.
Generally speaking, dogs are docile and well-behaved, and will not bite their owners at all. We must observe the needs of dogs in time, because they can’t speak, and sometimes they can only rely on biting to attract people’s attention when they want to express themselves.

Today’s young people like to keep pets, mostly cats and dogs. They will choose some pet cats and dogs to feed and enrich their lives. Our family lives in a rural area. Since I was a child, I have heard the old people say that dogs that have bitten people are not allowed to eat. What is left behind, because it has smelled the smell of blood, has stimulated the dog’s original animal nature, and will bite people again in the future life.

When I was a child, I had a big black dog. It was not a pet dog, but a Chinese garden dog I bought from the market. When I brought it home, my family pampered it, and I always took it out for walks. , after slowly growing up, the puppy learned to protect its owner. The family used to have a shop from 6 am to 12 pm, so the shop would stock some beer and drinks and put them in the corner.

One night, the ignorant children from the next door neighbor came over to steal something, which was the beer and drinks placed in the corner. My parents were busy at the time, and I went to bed early. The puppy saw it and bit the thief. After seeing a thief, my parents came out to stop them and went to settle the accounts with their neighbors. The neighbor refused to admit it and insisted that our dog bit his son and demanded compensation from us. We suffered the loss of not having surveillance installed. In the end My parents paid compensation in order not to cause a big problem. They thought the whole thing was over, but the neighbors were so angry that they started spreading rumors that our dog had already bitten someone and we couldn’t leave it here, otherwise it would bite someone again. Even some elderly people said that this was true. In the end, our family reluctantly got rid of the dog.

Now that I have grown up and raised several puppies, this saying has always been there. I couldn’t resist my curiosity, so I asked my friend who works in a pet store. He told me, first: once a dog bites someone, It is equivalent to stimulating the animal nature. The first time will lead to the second time, so no matter how good you are to it, there will be a betrayal mentality.
Second: If the dog itself has rabies, then the possibility of being dangerous is greatly increased. It will not only bite people but also bite the owner. This situation must be dealt with, otherwise it will not only hurt others but also hurt yourself.
Third: Dogs are the most understanding of human nature. They know how to be grateful and loyal, and will be very obedient. If they suddenly attack others, they may be dissatisfied with others and have signs of betrayal of their owners.

So can a dog that has bitten someone be kept? Even if the dog is not wrong, a dog that has bitten someone should ensure its own safety and observe whether the dog is still aggressive before deciding whether to keep it. If it is aggressive, it is recommended to deal with it with pain.
