We just recieved this 5 year old dog from a friend. He had to give up Magic, because Magic was attacking a new male dog. Magic got the raw end of the stick or tale as the case may be. Magic's was injured from the previous mentioned dog, the tail and multiple area on the face and snout. We got the dog yesterday and he has bit my husband three times. Each time it did appear that my husband was doing something that could hurt those injuries. ie. today my husband was putting medicine on Magic's tail and Magic bit him. I know that it was proably due to the probable pain, but I have a two year old little boy that I am very worried about. I already have decdied that my son and Magic will not be left alone together, but I still do not want an aggersive dog near him. I would like to keep Magic because he is usually a gental and well trained dog, but I am very scared of the possibility. Once Magic has healed and has settled with us, do you think he will stop being aggresive? (The bites are not severe, with only minor bleeding and scrapes.)
