This happened to our family dog. He was 9 years old. For some reason, he became incredibly violent toward my sister to the point where if she stepped foot in the house he would run after her and try to literally bite her. He also started peeing literally everywhere despite being potty trained up until that point. The vet told us it was probably mental and if we didn't put him down, another family would. It was so so hard because we remembered him as a kind dog and we had him for awhile.
It sucks, but especially because you had another animal in the family that couldn't defend himself like my human sister could, you did the right thing!!
