I just looked at Briar's picture and his imminent death breaks my heart.
However the scene you described was no less than horrifying, Lynne...You
know how it is when a dog gets wound up in the heat of battle that can't
always just shut down in an instant. I am afraid he is done for at your
house because you are afraid of him. I wasn't there and I am by no
means a specialist in behavior so I am certainly not judging his
behavior or yours once the fight was on. I take issue with what lead up
to the fight. My question is in general for anyone that chooses to
offer an opinion. "Would it be beyond unscrupulous to return him and
indicate he may be dog aggressive"? (leaving out the dog bite part)

Unfortunately, I think it is irresponsible to leave out a human bite
when reporting why the dog is being returned.
