To help track downed wild game I let my tracking dog drink a little blood, its not mean. Maybe human blood is different?

We used to feed our cow dogs, the heart when we had a cow butchered. They certainly seemed to enjoy it, but never saw them go to the source for one.

We're drifting now but it's completely different... feeding a dog or giving a tracking dog a scent to follow is not at all in the same realm.

"taste for blood" Is a figure of speech... but the underlying meaning is that once a dog attacks on its own, it's likelihood of another attack is much greater than a dog who has not previously attacked.

Maybe/Maybe not, but you were extremely lucky. Next time is the unknown/concern now. You or someone else faces a "next time" since the dog wasn't dealt with this time. Not to mention it now has a taste for blood that it may not have had the other day. I hope you never see it again, but not being prepared next time, after a big warning, is unwise.

If it's good enough for Rick Perry it should be good enough for us peasants.

The difference was that Gov. Perry shot a wild coyote. This is another domestic animal. While I'd like to believe that I could have taken the attacking dog out without consequence under the Health and Safety Code, I don't.
