This person with serious anxiety disorders and other emotional problems passed on her disorders to the "pandemic dog" she adopted as a lockdown toy, then killed her because she couldn't figure out how to fix the beagle's aggression. Monstrous:
Dogs react to the people they're around. They're extremely perceptive and sensitive, especially in a new and stressful situation like being taken by unknown people to a new home. Many, many most of, my dogs react differently to people based on how they behave.

A Window into how They think. A metaphor for what will be done about “dogs that bite.” They are Children. Horrible, murderous, Children. And they want to be absolved of all responsibility, and told they are gods. Buy guns.

When Bonnie Came Home
Just before Christmas, I adopted a 6-year-old beagle. She was adorable—and violent. I found a resolution many choose but few acknowledge.
BY MADELINE BILIS
Even if I did somehow find someone to take Bonnie, I wondered whether it would just exacerbate her already crippling anxieties. As the weeks went by and no new options appeared, I realized I had a choice: I could send her off with a stranger one day—someone she would certainly injure, and who would perhaps end up euthanizing her anyway—or I could allow her to leave this terrifying world peacefully with someone she loves.
Behavioral euthanasia is not a decision made out of convenience. Typically, it enters the conversation once the safety situation with a dog, cat, or other animal deteriorates beyond an acceptable level of risk, said Christopher Pachel, a veterinary behaviorist with Instinct Dog Behavior & Training. There isn’t a universal approach to every situation. Often, if the police aren’t involved, it’s up to a pet’s owner to decide what level of risk they can live with.
My heart rate slowed, and something clicked. Lady was a healthy dog. Clearly, Bonnie was not. I couldn’t possibly picture her acting so carefree. I miss Bonnie dearly—and desperately wish I could’ve watched her dart around my parents’ backyard—but there’s solace in knowing she isn’t afraid anymore.
I knew this would happen when I saw the phrase "pandemic pets". To be thrown away as soon as the "crisis" is over, and they go back to their normal lives of running about endlessly with their human friends, can't have something that puts a stumbling block into those endless vay-cay-cays overseas.
And the behavioural thing - but suggest to them that we put down fucking RETARDS because they'll never be normal and HURT PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, they'll fucking ree like those goddamn retards. But DOGS CAN BE RETAUGHT AND RETRAINED.
When a dog bites, there's usually a good reason (at least in the dog's mind, usually "I thought Master needed protecting") - when a retard throws a kid into a deadly river or pushes them in front of a car, it's just because they thought it was a "funny joke".
And when it comes to barking at people, I take my dog's side, since I know I'm terrible at judging people (considering all the shit friends I used to have). Her problem is bicycles, and I think it's because she thinks they steal people.
You should continue to trust your dog's judgement.
In my experience, 99% of the time bicycles means hipsters (who are nearly all leftists) or children.
From her point of view, it makes perfect sense.
She's fine if someone's walking a bike. She doesn't care much about a bike just sitting there (but she'll watch it). But someone gets ON a bike, and rides away? She freaks. She IS getting better this year (more bikes around). Also, she's a herder.
More specifically, I think she's afraid they'll steal ME.
How is she to know humans get on those crazy things voluntarily?
I've almost seen the opposite with people like you describe, they have dogs but I can't figure out why because all they do is bitch about how much trouble they are or having to spend a fortune to board it constantly while they ignore it. This is suburbia pre-WuFlu observations I'm talking about. Maybe different in the cramped city areas.
These same people will go on and on about how I should get a dog and I just can't figure out why they suggest that as much as they complain. I don't have interest in some weird little fluff mix dog, like what a Shih Tzu, Pomeranian, Poodle mix I could call a ShitPooPoo like the stuff they come up with. If I'm living on a proper piece of country land in the future, I'll get a proper dog when it can have adequate space to enjoy.
Only time I got bit I was handing our dog a treat and he jump up to get it and happened to get my finger too...
I don't own any pets myself, but I do enjoy nature. I've pet wild Canada Geese goslings, watched over by their momma. I've watched wild deer and elk walk right by in front of me (ain't petting those, though). I've had wild snakes drink water from my cupped hands. And many more.
I have been bitten by non-bug animals three times in my life. All three were "owned" pets. And all three were brushed off by the owners as "they do that all the time".
That's not to say the wild animals are "safer" by any means, of course, some have snapped at me and/or done fake-out charges, and I admittedly am a lot more cautious around wild animals than "tame" ones, but just throwing out there... It takes an owned animal to think it's safe to attack a human without repercussion. Humans train their animals to bite humans. They might not train them intentionally to do it, but they do train them to do it.
Mine accidentally bit me one time when I was reading. I had a blanket over my legs, which I kept wiggling while concentrating on my book. She thought it was some small animal, lol.
I encountered 1 dog that bit unprovoked, but that dog had a genetic defect that caused it. It attacked without any warning and the second after it, it behaved like it had no memory of that event. Its normal behaviour was that of an oversized puppy. Unfortunately it bit a kid one day and we had to put it down because of that.
