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.

You used the word "moody".....to me, that's a red flag and the first thing I think of is a medical condition. Dogs that are in pain.... from a cracked tooth to any number of other conditions will appear moody and 'testy'. I'd urge your friend to get the dog in for a full checkup.
