He bite me when I went to pick him up once and being a kid and without thinking, I grabbed his back and bit him back. Yes, I got in trouble and was told not to do that again. But me and that dog became the best of friend's for 21 years after that. Yes, 21 years! He lived to be 22 and saw many many kids during that time, but never bit anyone ever again.
Would I bite a dog again? No, I guess not. However, I did bite my daughter once when she wouldn't stop biting her brother. I asked if she liked the way that felt. She said no it hurts. I replied yes, then let's not do it to others. |
LOL, yep. And wow, 22 year old dog! Amazing. What kind of dog?
And I've done that before to my little brother... he bit me before and I did it back -- never did it to me again. My mom was apparently a huge biter as a child, well my grandpa (her dad) bit her back one day and she NEVER bit again, lol. Usually when dogs are biting, they don't know how bad it actually hurts. What's the harm in doing it back? Obviously we are NOT dogs and can not exactly portray what another dogs bite would feel like to them, but that's how they teach each other. That's how mommy dogs teach their pups about biting and why it's so important they stay with their mother until 8-12 weeks.
