A woman was attacked by a Great Dane inside a Home Depot store in Jefferson County, and charges are currently pending in response to the incident. The victim had asked to pet the dog, but instead, it bit her in the face, causing serious injuries.
Initially, the owner of the Great Dane insisted that it was just a headbutt, but the sheriff’s department confirmed that it was a bite. This event has raised concerns about the safety measures in place at the store, which is well-known for welcoming dogs.
Why did the dog bite the woman in the face?
