People don't know shit.
Dogs RARELY go from actual, and when I say actual I mean not a douchebag THINKING thats what they were doing, but ACTUAL playing...to a VIOLENT attack. Dogs who are underfed, under exercised and under trained are prime candidates for this scenario...and its sitll unlikely.
I agree. I saw this all the time in NYC with people on the street with dogs with those damned retractable leashes (those things should be banned/outlawed/shoved up their inventors ass in my opinion). The dogs would walk up to each other, then go stiff legged. One would play stance and the other would pin its ears back and raise its tail. The owners would coo----aww look, they are playing. The play stancing dog would then raise up when it realized that the other dog wasn't bullshittting. From there it'd go headlong into a dog fight---the whole time clearly visible it was going to happen, and the humans cooing like their dogs were babies.
Then when they get the dogs apart, they are like "its amazing, it just happened out of nowhere", "my dog isn't aggressive" or some other bullshit because they don't want to believe that their dog may actually act like a dog and they are too stubborn (or stupid) to admit that they should have seen what was happening happen. Itsa matter of stupid human pride and stubborness.
As far as this woman working in the shelter for years..... I'm sorry, but that doesn't mean much to me, especially considering some of the people I know who work in animal shelters. Their hearts are in the right place and they really do care for the animals, but I can name half a dozen off the top of my head who are lacking in animal sense. You'd think they'd learn something working in a shelter for years, but apparently they don't.
Its a shame the woman got hurt. I feel for her, but I also think that there is something HUGE missing in what we know about this story.
