Ugh :( When dogs turn bad.
There's a girl on the DIY board on TK who was just attacked by her FI's dog (golden). It's just horrible for everyone involved. I'm sure the FI has a sense of guilt that it was his dog, plus the emotional trauma of having to put your dog down. Their wedding is 5 weeks out.
She picked up his bone (about a foot in front of him) just like they do every night, and the dog freaked. Dragged her down by the arm. It's just so scary and awful 
We had Obie with us at the camp during the wedding/prep. I bought him a new bone before we got there to keep him busy. It was rainy, so we did the rehearsal in the lodge rather than in the chapel. A BM's 18month old was running around. I turned around and Evan was climbing all over Obie, and grabbed the bone right out of his mouth. It was one of those moments that happen in slow motion. Obie's never been food/bone/toy aggressive, but he's also not used to kids. Thank God, nothing happened. He looked at me, looked at the kid with his bone, and looked back at me like "Mooooooooooooom, he took my bone."
I wonder if there was a medical reason for her dog's change.

Aww...that's sad.
We've played in our dog's food and around her mouth since she was a baby in hopes that something like this wouldn't happen when we have kids.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermDid they say if the dog had shown signs of aggression before?
If the girl hadn't been dominant around the dog, the dog may have viewed itself to be "above" her, and that's why it acted that way. Or it could have been a hormone/sick issue that wasn't taken care of. There is no reason why a dog would "randomly" just become evil.
That's so awful. I hope she will be okay.
We learned pretty early on with our dog Whiskey that she can't have rawhide for aggression reasons. Two Christmases ago (when she was 6 months or so), my BIL's girlfriend who was working at Petsmart bought a bag full of rawhide treats home for her dogs and ours. Whiskey got one and it was like she turned in to a completely different dog.
She has never had a problem when we take her toys or even when we pick up her food while she is eating it (all things we did to try to make sure she would be socialized and friendly and not possessive), but for some reason, rawhide is like crazy catnip to her and she started growling if you came within a couple of feet of her and snapping at you. It was pretty scary, so we took the treat away and pretty much have told everyone since that ever dogsits her, no rawhide (which isn't good for dogs anyway).
I wonder why her FI's dog suddenly reacted so oddly? There has to have been something different either physiologically with the dog or environmentally. So sad.
How scary!!
My stepdaughter had a pair of rescued greyhounds that were retired from a racetrack. They had always been wonderful, docile dogs that never showed any signs of agression at all. They shared toys and food with no problem and were never agressive with our granddaughter until last summer, when she went to hug one of the dogs, who must have perceived it as some sort of threat, and she bit Ava's face so badly that she had to have stitches. The dog has been placed with another home where they don't have kids, but everyone was shocked and confused to say the least. Thankfully, our granddaughter has no scars from the incident, and doesn't seem to be afraid of dogs at all, and the other dog in the pair still lives with them and is quite pleasant to be around.
