If your obviously not mistreating your dog, but your own dog bites you,
what's the best thing to do?

My friend has a moody dog that bit his wife and another friend of his.

Should he put the dog to sleep, given that the dog is turning on members of the family? I know this is common practice in the rural South.

Please help.

In both cases, the dog was being pet when he attacked.

Did anyone go the hospital? If not, the dog was exhibiting some form of bite inhibition. To me, that's more telling than any knee jerk reaction.
