Our family dog has a history of showing aggression and we've literally tried everything under the sun to help him and nothing seems to work. The last straw for me was today. He was happily lying on the rug in the sitting room, he could clearly see me approaching him in a non threatening manner and I then sat down at the side of him with my hand out for him to sniff before I went ahead to stroke him. Well, he suddenly growled and went for me for no reason.
As of right now, I'm past caring and I frankly couldn't give a toss if he got ran over. I know that is horrible to say but that's how I'm genuinely feeling. I want the dog out of the house but I know most of my family will be against it. If he was a big dog, they might feel differently about it. Why subject other family members to live with a dangerous dog that is nothing but a ticking time bomb when the option of having him humanely euthanized is an option? It would be best for everyone especially the dog. What makes it worse is that my brothers girlfriend is due in four months time and they will all be living here until they find a house of their own.
I didn't mean for this to end up ranty, sorry.

Am I being unreasonable to not want anything to do with this dog anymore?
