"'My dog just BIT me - really bit me. How could they do this to ME?'

These words, spoken through tears in emergency rooms and veterinary clinics, mark the moment everything changes between a dog and their person. If you're living this nightmare right now - separated from your dog, managing your home like a military operation, wearing protective gear just to get through daily tasks - this episode is your lifeline.

As an award-winning Canine Psychologist, I've sat with countless families in the aftermath of serious bites. Through Saturn's remarkable journey - a Moroccan street dog who delivered multiple Level 4-5 bites - discover why there's hope even in the darkest moments. This isn't just another 'manage your reactive dog' story. This is about transformation: from planning euthanasia to planning playdates, from living in fear to building deep trust.

What makes Saturn's story different? It challenges everything you've been told about 'fixing' aggressive dogs. Instead of just focusing on the bites, we looked at the whole picture - from medical conditions to emotional trauma.

You'll discover:

• Why your dog isn't choosing to bite any more than you choose to jump when startled
• How what looks like 'sudden' aggression is actually more like a bathtub slowly filling up
• Why it's extraordinarily rare that behavioral euthanasia is the only option
• How families go from wearing protective gear to sharing their couch again

But here's what makes this episode truly special: Saturn's setback. After months of progress, one distracted moment at an elevator led to another serious bite. What happened next shows the true depth of committed dog parenting and offers a masterclass in how to handle the moments when things go wrong.

This episode is your guide through the crisis. Whether you're:

• Facing behavioral euthanasia decisions
• Living separated from your dog
• Managing your home like a military operation
• Desperate for answers and hope

You'll find both understanding and a way forward. Because every bite has a story. And that story doesn't start with the bite.
