Question:

My JRT just recently had to be put down. He had been aggressive since a puppy, even though went spent a lot of time with him loving him, playing , and a great dealof exercise. Within the last year he viciously attacked me in the face and I required stitches to closeupboth wounds. This last time I required 46 stitches and a plastic surgeon. What went wrong with him? He could cuddle upto you and be so loving and yet without warning bite you. Not a growl, no hair standing upon end, nothing. When he bite you sometimes his eyes rolled back even. The vet did a through check over him and found nothing. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I loved him a great deal and miss my companion. He would of been 2 in November.
Thank you
Jim
