Any dog of mine that did that sort of damage to my wife, gf, whatever, would end up digging a bullet out of its skull.

NO dog would get away with that crap at my house. That's not really an opinion, that's just what I would do. You may do things different. Lucky I don't own the dogs, or I guarantee you one of them wouldn't be alive right now. And I love dogs. Got two ourselves. But I also have a line they best not cross. If they go to kill mode, I will too.
