Where do you live?
I am very sorry for your loss...

There's quite a few ways to manage this, actually, one is never letting the dog outside when people are near your fence/gate.
Another is leashing him. A third would have been simply telling her to leave your area and/or take the dog inside...or not turning your back while she was still there

I am so sorry for you and the loss of your boy Rexy. I know our dogs are not supposed to bite, and I know that I am probably wrong for my thoughts. But I think the woman had been warned, she invaded his space, it is her fault that she got bit. Again I will probably get redirected for my thoughts on this, but I think that it is wrong that your pet was put down because of her stupidity.

thank you im hoping by coming on here i can feel alittle better,my husband and i are going over and over maybe if we had signs up,maybe if i was quicker,we should of found a behaviorist,if we put up a stock gate fence maybe rexy would still be here.i just wished she would of gotten my attention first,i could of gave her his ball and she would of been fine.even the dog warden is confused for 11 days they had him and said he was super friendly they didnt see any meaness in him.but because he met her twice and he bit her in the neck thats why he had to be put down.its a sad situation.

She was on the other side of the fence? Like reaching over to pet him? Then she's 100% at fault IMO. Especially since she was warned. It's just sad that none of that matters, the dog is always to blame no matter what the circumstances are.

Oh Im am so sorry .I live w/ a dog who can if her space is violated be aggressive. People reach grab and in general do things that as a kid I would have gotten my butt kicked for. I hope your kids can have another fur brother or sister when you are ready. So sorry.

I am really sorry for you lost

I do not believe it was your doggie or your fault. These dogs are amazing, but they are still very fast and VERY powerful. I think she should have respected Rexy's space maybe she wasn't too savy on dog behavior. Hope this serves as a lesson for anyone reading this. I know I will be more careful when I have people coming over or getting near our house thanks to this post.

This was clearly the fault of the woman--I am sorry that she was hurt but for crying out loud--how stupid can people be? I wouldn't even put my hands through the fence to put my neighbors constantly yapping maltese! I am so sorry for you and your family--this is really unfair...your yard..your dog--that woman invaded your space
