Why is my dog mounting my husband after he was bitten by another dog?

Question

My husband got bitten by another dog ( not out dog) and now our dog, Moto is acting weird toward him (my husband). He is trying to mount my husband. Is this normal? Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 5 years and 1 month old | 45 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be a display of dominant behavior. It may be because your husband smells like the other dog and Moto is just marking territory and displaying dominant behavior. This is likely going to self resolve. Good luck and have a great day!
