Assuming you witnessed the dog bite the MD then a complaint to the
police seems a good idea. There are still too any people ignorant of
the fact the Dangerous Dogs law was extended to dogs on private
property. With a bit of luck the customer will get a visit from the
constabulary. And may even be inclined to offer suitable
compensation
without the need for a letter before action.

Going that route is likely to result in the dog's death, which seems
rather
harsh. The problem is nearly always the owner, not the dog.

However, beyond a certain point, the dog becomes essentially irredeemable

you pretty much can't teach old dogs new tricks, and in particular you
can't
unteach them their current ones.

their ways can be changed,

They can indeed and that yankee dog trainer Cesar Millan on
reality TV is shown doing it very effectively indeed with most dogs.

**** google is one hell of a resource now. I couldnt
remember his name and again first hit with google.

but only if you remove them from the problem human

Thats bull****, he does it with the problem human all the time.

or teach the problem human some sense.

Ditto.

Generally neither of those happens.

It does with the best of the dog trainers.

If it will attack an adult human, it's quite
likely to do a lot worse to a child - we've seem a fair number of cases
over
recent years.

The world isn't short of dogs, so (while I'm actually something of a
dog-lover)
I'm not particularly worried about having some of the excess removed.

Dangerous dogs can be safe IF handled correctly.

Yeah, saw one hell of a dog at a garage sale. His master was a young
girl who must have been about 8, did exactly what he was told,
going bananas at the visitors before she told it to behave.

An example is police attack dogs, trained to attack
people but don't kill people or attack the officers.
