We had to put a few dogs down because they were old and were not trustworthy around other people. We brought one to the shelter and many years ago I went out to the woods with my dad to get rid of a dog because it was getting crabby. I didn't like having to do it but it had to be done, old dogs sometimes get dementia or something and get crabby even though they were such loving dogs most of their lives.
I am sorry to hear that you might have to do this. Is the dog very old? Has it had a good life so far? Sometimes we are forced to make decisions we do not like. The dog might be alright on a farm somewhere yet if you can find some older people who will take it. I know people who did that and the cranky dog got along great with the old cranky farmer. I think the dog met his match and was afraid the farmer would get pissed at him and lock him in the barn.
