Most who have ever seen what it takes to get a dog to do that would be appalled; during training, the dogs are abused to the point of retaliation, then conditioned to "retaliate" on demand. From the looks of those folks, they were police, but those dogs were definitely trained as "military-style" attack dogs.

Police dogs are trained to attack only until the target is subdued (unresisting and motionless). These dogs continued to attack well after that, marking them as attack dogs.

How do I know? My neighbor is a K9 Officer; used to be a K9 in the Army as an MP, too. Unfortunately, due to how the dogs are trained, they destroy military police dogs when their handlers leave the service (i.e. they only get to have one handler), which is why K9 MPs tend to stay in service a long time, and tend to rotate out when their assigned dog dies. FWIW, K9 MPs always carry a loaded sidearm when with the animal: in case things get out of hand, the MP can put the dog down.

Police dogs can and are re-trained to go to another handler, but part of the dog's training program has to be redone with the new handler present.

Those dogs are pansies, these dogs are the mean ones.

I had an "attack shepard" and she was a pansy unless a situation arose or she was given the command to attack. Her name was Roxy and she weighed 152 pounds at her peak, and this was not fat. She was one of the strongest dogs I've ever seen.

We lived on a farm and one persistant problem was people coming out to the countryside and dumping dogs, which would gather into packs. Once they became a problem the police chief would recruit a posse from the community, order the domestic dogs to be indoors for a weekend then the posse would hunt down and exterminate as many feral dogs as possible.

This controlled things most of the time, but on occaision there would be rogue dogs wandering around causing big problems; attacking livestock, pets, kids etc.

One incident started with Roxy being chained to a tree and napping next to her dog house. Her daughter, Sassy (abt. 50 lbs at the time) was chained to the next tree over.

One day a large (abt. 80 lbs) feral dog wandered into our yard and for some reason known only to him attacked Sassy. BAD move....

Roxy got that look and in one move snapped her chain (actually one of the links broke at the weld ). In a flash she was on the attacker, grabbing him by the throat. She then shook him like a rag, completely off the ground, until he was dead as a door nail.

This all happened so fast my parents and I hardly had time to get off our chairs on the porch, much less do anything.

Once he was dispatched Roxy sniffed him to make sure, then went over to Sassy to check on her. After she was satisfied that Sassy was OK she then casually walked back to her dog house and took a nap.

If anyone had attacked a member of our household I'm sure they'd have been in a similar condition to that feral dog, and knowing our police chief she'd have been given a medal

Needless to say her puppies were in big demand. When I go back there to visit old friends I can still find her progeny all over town, and 75% of 'em are also huge and beautiful dogs.
