the dog didnt know it was killing its friend...how many dogs have you heard of that save their owner by keeping them warm...over and over again.. a dog eating its owner is rare...I dont care what you say....
The dog's history wasn't known. Most loyal well behaved dogs are socialised properly when young, not just taken for a walk on the street every now and then, they are also trained to a certain degree. Certainly swearing at the dog and yanking on the leash is not training.
The only reason why a dog does something is to better his situation. How can a dog improve his own situation? He does this by:
Increasing nice feelings (positive reward) Decreasing small (or bigger) unpleasant feelings (negative reinforcement and correction, respectively)
I agree with you. You're making my case for me. There are dog breeds that are loyal to the end, and then there are dog breeds that get a little peckish if an eyeball should happen to suddenly present itself as a potential meal.

I think even a poodle would do that under these circumstance.. they are a hunting dog as well you know..
Surprisingly, poodles are deemed by the experts to be the most intelligent of all the canine breeds.
Many breeds are deemed intelligent, but if the owner isn't the dog will not be given the chance to use it's natural instinct in a way which is useful.

look at the bad name Rotties have... yet those that have them for pets adore them and never have any trouble...
The mothers of anti-social bastards who terrorise their neighbourhood will tell you the same thing ...
Rottweilers are a good breed providing the owner has an idea about the character of molosser type breeds. They are a very intelligent and loyal breed, but because of the mastiff influence can be stubborn.

with your outlook lets ban all dogs..... for me I would ban owners first.... and that particularly goes for bad people who abuse children...sterilise them
Coincidentally I just now had an idiot in front of my place trying to discipline his large black dog using angry streams of the 'f' word while tugging on the leash.
Idiots like this suburban Neanderthal should never be allowed to own any type of pet.
Agree

I'll give him credit for at least getting the dog socialised by taking it for walks ~ even though I doubt very much that he realises he's socialising it by doing this.
The only "credit" he deserves is a lifetime ban from keeping a dog. He's encouraging the animal to reject socialisation.
