3. Check with your vet.

The dog is attacking your fur family, which sounds dangerous to me. I am concerned for your safety as well as your other dogs. Perhaps the aggression is due to illness or to pain. A vet could help determine the source of the aggression and also the level of risk. I only have cats, but one feral stray that we fed a long time bit my husband. Turns out the poor kitty had severe tooth or mouth infection, which the woman who trapped him could smell. Since he was feral, he had to be humanely euthanized. It was very sad. I hope you are able to resolve your troubles more happily than we did. Take care.
