Dovi Soiefer, a Jewish businessman, arrived in Miami for a business conference – “the ECAP Health Conference” this week, looking forward to productive business meetings.
On his way to the conference, Soiefer was attacked by two rottweiler dogs, who knocked him to the ground and scratched and bit him on the arm. After the owner of the dogs succeeded in controlling them, he gave Soiefer his number and told him to be in touch and receive restitution from him.
A woman from the hotel who saw the attack called police, who said that if Soiefer pressed charges, the dogs would be put down.
The embarrassed owner of the dogs pleaded with Soiefer not to press charges and promised him compensation for his injuries. The man said that he had already recently lost a dog to sickness and did not want to lose his other dogs. However after Soiefer heard that the owner of the dogs was Jewish, he had a different request from him.

What a chilul Hashem. When these wild dangerous dogs attack someone else this famous story that is viral will come back to hurt us. The Jews didn't report dangerous dogs with a history etc. It could've been avoided etc. He didn't do any mitzvah. These dogs are dangerous and the owner is irresponsible. These dogs should be put down. Next time it could be a child and be a deadly outcome
He did do a mitzva and it is indeed a kiddush Hashem. I agree that it was perhaps not the best judgement regarding the dogs, but it was certainly a display of beautiful middos of being maavir al midosov and putting the interests of a mitzva first while ignoring his own personal interests.
And that's how you do a kiddush haShem. What a great story.
(but the dogs still should be put down)
Has Soiefer lost his mind? Shulchan Aruch Horav is cited by poskim outside Lubavitch for his sensible psak that someone machzik a kelev ra should be in cherem.
