Comment on why is it never the 'close friend' who gets shit on?

Doggo has a sensitive nose. We know he had to notice a strong smell of another male and scent of sex on the ex.
Now, there is a really, really small, almost nonexistant chance that the doggo connected the dots and assumed she betrayed the pack.
And sure, chance is really low…but I also don’t see a lot of claims to similiar story and if something has extremely chance of happening, it still may happen. xD

More than likely the dog detected anxiety/hesitation/etc, saw that as prey/weak pack behavior and attacked.

We reeeeaaaally wanna believe all dogs ale kill machines, don’t we? Also dunno if someone who cheats would feel anxiety, isn’t there tendency that cheaters blame their faithful partners?

You really think that dog lacks a deep seated inclination to catch bodies? Even shih-tzu have it.

My reaction was mostly provoked by the “Dog would probably attack children”. It’s funny to me that, seemingly, lemmings are more eager to assume each single dog is a non senstient killing machine rather that it tried to protect it’s owner. xD
Most dogs have instinct to hunt prey, but like with humans, they can learn to overwrite them and most under good owners do. It’s werid to me when I see people immediately assume the dog is aggressive just because of one reported bite scenario, and that specific one at the same time. Like saying that a random person is overly aggresive because when you heard once that they hit someone.

Idk man not every dog has strong predatory or pack insticts but most the ones that go around biting people do.
And people often do things in the moment and post rationalize as well. Some cheaters absolutely have anxiety, regret or complex emotions about it. Even the ones who don’t might hesitate to construct a lie or evaluate whether a partner’s response will be dangerous.
