As I noted earlier, you could put any domesticated dog of any age in the world in that exact situation and the odds would be fairly decent even a different dog would have that same instinctual reaction.

Including the other dogs this couple owns as part of their sledding hobby.

The professionals observing the dog through the last week or so evidently know this as well given the family was not ordered to destroy the dog but rather were given the option to offer it life in another home or have it destroyed.

If the dog were deemed truly dangerous by the professionals, the choice wouldn't have been there.
