Is It True That If My Dog Bites Someone He Might Be “Put To Sleep” Even If He’s Never Bitten Anyone Before?

Yes. This is sad but true and sometimes necessary to protect the public welfare. The law states that a dog might be confiscated, quarantined for 10 days to allow for the owner to file an appeal, and then put to death in a humane way, if the dog caused severe injury or death, even if it was the first attack.
