Why would a dog bite his owner He is a mixed terrier?
Dogs bite for many reasons. Dogs, like people, have their own temperament. Some breeds of dogs may be more or less inclined to have an easy disposition. Even within a breed there can be great variability. Terriers can be feisty dogs. They are often quite pain-resistant and so are not really afraid of being bitten back (by dogs). Terriers can be very smart dogs, and can easily be trained not to bite but as with all dogs this training is best started when they are puppies. Many dogs, even terriers, never bite. It is extremely unacceptable to have a dog that is not safe around people and it is up to the owner to make sure that their dog is trained properly. How a dog is trained and raised and the environment a dog lives has great impact on its inclination to bite. Reasons a dog might bite: Perhaps it was not trained NOT to bite. Was the dog taunted by the owner? Was the owner playing with the dog, in which case the dog may have gotten overexcited? Was the dog in pain... did it have an injury or is it perhaps arthritic? Dogs that feel threatened or are in pain may be more inclined to try and protect themselves.
Why does a dog bite his own keepers who love him and feed him like their own child?
Dogs aren't children, and you shouldn't expect them to act like children. Dogs act on reflex. A dog who is frightened or startled, or who is protecting their food, may bite. It's usually a "threat bite" -- firm enough to scare you off but not hard enough to do real damage. (Dogs also do this when playing with other dogs: lots of snarling and growling and "pressing" of teeth, but no real damage.) Dogs may also bite if they've been abused by previous owners, or grew up as strays. If this is new behavior, take the dog to a vet for a checkup. You may be hurting the dog by touching a hidden injury.

Why do dogs bite?
Puppies bite for two main reasons. First, because they are teething and it is necessary for the proper development of their jaws and adult teeth. Second, they play bite to learn self defense and how to hunt. In play with litter mates and other puppies, they learn what is called "bite inhibition," or just how hard to bite without hurting. This is a critical skill for all dogs to learn. This one skill alone is the most significant element of preventing dog bite injuries (both to other dogs and to humans). See the related question on how to stop biting (link below).
