When I was a kid, my Golden Retriever bit everyone in my family but me. We eventually gave him back to the breeder (who subsequently put him down) after he attacked my mom when she tried to take a stick from him. Nearly 100 stitches in her hand.
He had a tumor causing extreme aggression.
Boston bit me once. On the hand. I said ow, like 10 times. I even got a tear. That was mostly because he then stepped on my groin. I was playing tug and as he adjusted his grip, he caught my thumb/forefinger web.
He also bit me another time. I surprised him from behind while he was panting. He turned around with his mouth open (from panting) and his tooth scratched me. Then he stepped on my groin.
Point is, dogs don't work like us, and they've got big freakin' teeth that they don't always realize hurt us more than it does their canine counterparts. As someone else already posted, think back carefully to all the things going on when the biting happened. And if your husband didn't get his groin stepped on, tell him to stop his whining.
MY dog neutered ME.
