Quote from: HavACrumpet452 on May 18, 2014, 07:12:44 PMSprinkles, its funny you say that. One of my first thoughts was, if not rabies, are neighborhood children poking at the dog with sticks through the fence or otherwise harassing it.Kid-annoyed or harassed dogs do not go after children. They may snap or bite a child who comes up to them, but they don't go after a nuisance. They get away. They leave the area. The dog's body language in the video is far more akin to a hunting dingo than an actual normal dog. Honestly, I would say the dog has been trained to fight with that level of aggression. If the kids were harassing the dog, I would imagine the owner of the dog would be reporting the family of child instead of vice versa. :/

The Chow Chow is an imposing character thanks to his bellowing bark and scowling expression. They originated in China and were used to hunt everything from pheasant to wolves, were commissioned to guard boats and pull carts of cargo. Today the Chow still makes an excellent guard dog, and when treated with love and respect, is himself a loving and respectful companion who tends to attach deeply to one or two members of his family. Chows are an aggressive breed, fiercely protective of their people and property and should only be adopted by experienced dog owners who have the time and energy to devote to proper training and socialization.
I think this dog just lost the genetic lottery. Most dogs don't stalk humans. They might bite a human when they're scared or feeling threatened or hurt, but everything about this dog's behavior said, "Awesome! I'm going to have a lot of fun taking down this prey!" Really frightening. Thank goodness for the cat.I love dogs, but I think putting this one to sleep is the right thing to do.
