Can someone advise me on what I should do please?
I have a 17year old son with severe learning difficulties, I also have a dog aged 15 who can be cranky at times.
Now son knows the dog can be a cranky but likes to cuddles him, Dylan always growls if things get a bit too much and my son usually leaves him alone then, but today he didn't despite Dylan growling and me telling him to leave the dog alone - Dylan ended up biting him (only a slight graze).
I understand that under normal circumstances this could warrant the dog being put down, but it is difficult as Dylan was provoked and gave plenty of warning............what would you do?
