Dunno why a lab/chow would necessarily be crazy, but that one is/was. Tail was wagging, not down. And yet it attacked. WTF.

I don't know how you train or re-train any dog that a human boy isn't prey nor an enemy, especially when the dog was in no way provoked.

The question to the owner might have been, is it reasonable to always chain up the dog when outside, and if so, why and what's the reliability of that? Might very well have been their decision, without input from mom, to put the dog down.

You gotta keep in the yard/house. No excuse for them being out by themselves. Tons of vicious dogs. Junkyard dogs, you name it.
