One strike, you're out. It's a dog that can kill.
The right thing is to alert animal control. It's not a Chihuahua or a teacup Yorkie. That is a dog that can kill.

What breed dog did you have?

Vizsla. Pretty atypical for the breed. When he was good he was so good.

Completely atypical for a vizsla. They definitely deserve the nickname of Velcro
