DENVER, Colo. (KTLA) -- An interview went terribly wrong when a dog turned on a news anchor.
The 85-pound Argentine Mastiff named Max had been rescued from an icy pond.
Kyle Dyer of our Denver affiliate was petting Max, and interviewing his owner and the firefighter who rescued him.
But Max suddenly turned on Dyer and bit her in the face.
Dyer was treated at a Denver hospital where she remains in fair condition.
Max has been quarantined pending further investigation.

First of all, standing or crouching over a dogs head is a number 1 no no. This is showing dominance to the dog. Second, never pet a strange dog aggressively or rapidly, as this is feeding the dog your energy (insecurities, fear, anger, etc.). As you can see in this video, the dog is trapped between two people. He has no where to go to escape from this person petting them. The dog bit in defense, as do fear biting dogs do when they are trapped. Dogs are animals and animals will bite out of fear. This dog just went through a tramatic experience. He could be already aggressive or fearful to begin with. Always, always, let a dog come to you first. Let them smell you before reaching your hand over their head to pet them.
