Need Idea Help

I'm writing a short story about a fighting pit bull, and I need help figuring out one part of my story. Something is going to happen to make help for the dog look helpless. In my first draft of the story, the dog attacked a shelter worker who he believed to be dangerous (but wasn't really). Do you guys like that idea, or do you think I need to use something else.
I don't want him to attack another dog, because he is going to be good with other dogs despite his dogfighting history.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks

Why are you picking on pit bulls!?!?!? You meany! lol
I am at a part in my story where I am having a hard time moving on! It's a very upsetting part (that I def. don't want to make graphic) but it's still hard for me to write!!! 
I'll probably cry when I finally do write it! I researched how dogs are trained for fighting, and oh it's so awful! (Of course the training is awful, the "sport" is awful!)

That makes me like you 10 times more! lol I can't stand people who think pit bulls are "dangerous animals." Breed bans make me want to....go crazy! lol. I love pit bulls!! I did a powerpoint for a class on "Pit Bull Misconceptions" and my teacher said I taught him things he hadn't been aware of. I got an A, wooot!!

I would have your dog attacked by a much bigger, more vicious dog. He would avoid the bigger dog at first but the bigger dog would be getting the better of him so your dog would begin to fight back. Being the more clever of the two, your dog would win the fight but even though the attack was seriously provoked, it does not look good for your dog.

Yeah, if I end up using that idea, the shelter people will get the dogs seperated before too much damage is done. But I just thought of a little problem. Why would another dog attack him? I don't think the shelter workers will walk an aggressive dog by another one...hmmm...

That's a really good idea, I like that you didn't make him the aggressor in the situation (because that wouldn't have fit him). Thank you! 
I've added this to my "short list." lol

Wow, I read through the suggestions and I agree, regardless of the reason, if a dog attacks someone, they are adoptable. Unless you make the worker a "bad guy" that the dog sensed which may make him adoptable only if someone wanted a guard dog, but I am not sure on that. One said to call your local shelter, that might be your best bet..

Lets say, he was a new on that shelter while usually he live naturally free.He considered all on that shelter was his enemies and dangerous.
His wild instinct who teach him well as a fighter and a hunter.
Suddenly, everything change when he falling love whether the female, peoples (boy, girls or whatever whom it will be his master).
Finally, he become a nice pet, a best friend and a great guardian.

I didn't give you a lot of details of my story, but I already have the whole story line. And I already have most of the details, he is going to get along with people at the shelter, he is going to have a man that is going to adopt him when he's ready...but something happens that changes things. All I can think of is to have him attack someone he thinks is dangerous.

Well, sorry if I'm bothering your story lines.
This is from my views about your problems.
"After he attack the worker, other workers want catch him to be entered to quarantine.But during the capture, the dog got bad injured.(you who decide the injury).At the treatment, there comes someone (again, you who decide) thau fall in love with him at the first sight and want to adopt him no matter what happen.But because of the track records, he not allowed to be adopted.
Finally, that someone comes everyday and help the treatments.Day by day they become closer and closer".
I believe You know the rest.How about that?

You aren't bothering anything, I appreciate the suggestions!
The attack on the worker is going to be at the end of the story, there won't be enough time after it for all you mentioned to happen. You actually kind of got some facts in my story right, just in the wrong section. lol
