One thing to add...to the dog it did nothing wrong. The dog perceived a threat, felt threatened, and acted accordingly. The owners were probably horrified at what their dog did and instantly went into "bad dog" mode, but the dog was probably thinking "I was just defending myself". Not saying with absolutely certainty this was what happened, just something to think about when trying manage a dog's behavior.
