Sorry about your dog, basskiller, I love my dog more than most people I know. He's a rather large akita male, and he'd take a big bite out of your ass for me. Just ask my best bro, he was throwing mock punches at me one night and the dog latched onto his arm. Nothing personal, he just wanted to let my buddy know not to try and hurt me. The two of them are cool now, although I don't have anyone coming over anymore acting like they're trying to hurt me.....
