Dogs that aren’t trained to be guard dogs, but attack to kill naturally is another thing completely, once a dog gets a taste for blood, I think it would be a very unattainable ideal that they would never do it again in other circumstances.

You can have no sympathy for the burglar, but to think that it’s normal for a couple of dogs to maul someone to death for being in their territory is completely illogical, all it takes is for one kid to wander away from their parents and try and go play with the cute doggies and the ‘they were protecting their home’ argument wouldn’t count for ****

Yeah there has been cases where dogs turn crazy and attack for no reason, which is why I'm always wary of certain breeds of dogs ,as you don't always know how they're going to react.

Some guard dogs can be too protective and aggressive aswell,and as mentioned delivery men ,postmen, meter readers etc are at high risk .

And a switch flips and they can randomly attack their owners for no reason ,then next thing you know they're docile... again it's strange.

However in this particular instance if you're going to break into someone's house uninvited then you're looking for trouble.
