Second I have to add you need to step back and keep a level head because this is just as much your girlfriends fault as the big dogs owner. Why do you think dog parks have seperation? Not all big dogs hate small dogs or have ever had an issuue bitting any dog. Fact is dogs are animals and no level of training can take that away.
It is poor animal care on both owners fault for not keeping.both dogs on a leash go see how they act together esp in another dogs home. You never ever assume anything and when.you do Shit like this happends.
Once again im sorry for your loss but that big dog does not deserve punishment if anything your wife and yourself and big dog owner need to take classes on animal behavior.

Thanks.
I do agree that my gf is to blame here, but she was following instructions of a professional - so you could argue that she though it was safe. I agree 100% that they should not have been with leashes when they didn't know each other.
But I can't tell my gf that right now, it'll have to wait until she's "over" it.
BUT being a pro that invited her into her home, she should know how her animals would react to strangers and this was no educating bite, it was a kill thing. Also it was not a case of HUGE dog vs. TINY dog. It was smallish dog versus tiny dog/puppy (he was 6 months old).
I appreciate all the good wishes and educative posts, thanks. I'm not really the one primarly in charge of the pets. Hell I'm almost always at work anyways.
I guess I was venting my frustration here, as many do. Danish law is clear on this matter and I will take all of it up with the police and insurance company. So I guess my initial question was more of a rhetorical nature.
