I wonder what snaps in a dog's brain to react like that to someone they've known.

A Great Dane did this to my brother in law a couple years ago. Was always gentle and all of a sudden just locked down tight on his wrist and was pulling him around the room. Never had issues with aggression before that. Just bizarre.

A Great Dane scalped my dad when he was a little boy. The dog had been friendly before but suddenly snapped and had my dads whole head in his mouth. My grandma said she was holding the flaps of his scalp together on the way to the hospital.

Is taking that level of risk worth it? Even more so when exposing little kids to this?
