Nobody knows what prompted Milo, a 3-year-old pointer-hound mix, to bite a young Mansfield boy on Jan. 3, but what is certain is that the boy required more than 400 stitches to repair the wound.
Dawn Herbert-Miller, the mother of 6-year-old Christian, would like the dog to be euthanized and has petitioned Mansfield selectmen to order Milo’s owners to put him down. The board is preparing to rule on the case after it hears witness testimony Wednesday, said Olivier Kozlowski, chairman of the Board of Selectmen.

Once a biter - always a biter. I am a dog lover, however, if this was my dog there would be no decision other than to put the dog down.

Have you ever seen the Dog Whisperer? Dogs like Milo, a hound mix, are not born bad. This dog was threatened in his own home by a strange boy who got up in his face. The dog reacted. It's a tragedy but it's not the dog's fault and there is no evidence he is a threat to the general public.
There is no pattern of attacks here and your gross generalization about dogs displays ignorance.
Save Milo and teach kids safe behavior around dogs that don't belong to them.
