Q: Is it true that if my dog bites someone he might be "put to sleep" even if he's never bitten anyone before?
A:
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.
