If your dog bit someone, would you put it down?

Asked by AdventureElephants (1412points) January 7th, 2016 from iPhone

If your dog, for the sake of discussion we will say is a 3-year-old neutered male with some protective instincts but no previous bite history, intentionally bit a child, would you have the dog put to sleep?

You got the dog at 8 weeks and are the only owner. It has been through obedience training and has impeccable manners.

Would the situation impact your decision? How about the location of the bite? How about the severity of the bite? What if it were the second time? What if the parents were insisting?

At what point would you decide to put your own pet down, or would you?
