My sincerest apologies for the mix-up in my responses. It appears I veered off course and included the innocent dog in a scenario that was never about them—it was about the challenging behavior of a human being.

Comparing it to blaming an innocent child for their parents' actions is quite fitting, as pets, like children, should not be held accountable for the behaviors or attitudes of their owners.

Let's steer this ship back on course and focus on addressing the real issue at hand—the toxic behavior exhibited by certain individuals rather than attributing it to any furry companions caught in the crossfire. Thank you for pointing out my misstep, and let's strive for clarity and accuracy moving forward!
