My dog (who is now living with my parents since I moved to Melbourne) bit a little girl today. He bit her badly on the foot. It's not the first time he's acted aggressively towards kids. Our old next door neighbors son used to tease and scare him through the window and the damage was done from then.

The mother was apparently very good and won't be taking any action, but that doesn't change what's happened.

He's normally a beautiful natured little dog, he just gets frightened by children.

My mum just rang me and said I need to make a decision. I know what I should do. But I'm so heartbroken. He's the sweetest little dog and I love him so much.

I'm devastated.
