Such a tough question. I thikn it really depends on the situation/animal. For example, our oldest dog Thorin. He is the sweetest dog I've ever owned. He wouldn't harm a hair on our heads and when hubby is away on business, he sleeps in hubbys spot. He's my giant stuffy. However, when it comes to anyone else, he isn't the nicest dog. We went about it wrong and didn't socialize him at all. We can't even board him as he won't eat or drink while we're gone (tried once and he almost died). I think he would have to be put down.
