Moms asleep for the night and don't want to wake her for this.

I'm talking full crab-walk-pose kick. She wasn't biting, or even growling, she was laying down in a non aggressive manner. We've had instances in the past where either dog would be dragged into his room to "snuggle", just to hear a yelp after a couple minutes.

So I witnessed this through the window as I was walking from the barn to the house. I saw red. I went inside and asked him what had just happened. He tried to tell me a different story about her biting his hand and growling. I took very will lit videos and photos of his hands including him pointing to where she "bit him" for mom in the morning when she asks where his game console and television are. I'm shaking. I asked him why he would ever hurt either of our dogs to the defense of her aggressively presenting herself.

Currently back in the barn trying to find out how to handle this and how to explain to a child the severity of hurting animals out of aggression.

Thanks all!
