5YO Girl Recovering From Dog Attack

A five-year-old Coeur d’Alene girl is recovering at Kootenai Medical Center following a dog attack Sunday night. It happened along the 800 block of North 17th Street in Coeur d’Alene, when a young girl ran out of her house to meet her mom and was pounced by the dog. The three-and-a-half-year-old Belgian Melanois is being held at a private animal hospital and neighbors say they were surprised the dog attacked unprovoked. A police report says the dog, named Bogie, attacked the young girl, biting her in the throat, chest, arm, and head. At one point, Bogie picked the girl up off the ground and started thrashing her around/KREM. More here .

Question: “Bogie is going to be held here for ten days under quarantine, and after that period the owners can decide to keep him, while following some strict guidelines, or they can choose to put him down.” What would you do if you owned and loved the dog?
