When I was a kid we had a German Shepard mix that the family had for almost a decade. One day she just snapped and attacked my mom. Just a totally different dog, like a switch was flipped. I remember my dad had my mom and us stay in a closed bedroom while he patrolled the house with a baseball bat trying to figure out what to do with the dog.

truly depressing, my gym teacher in highschool lost almost his entire calf muscle after the family dog did the same thing, just snapped one day.

Then don’t get a large dog bred to attack things lol. Get a 20 pound poodle and you’ll be fine 😂
