Interesting! Is this something totally new or have you heard of this before? I'd also be interested in seeing the results of the Canine Thyroid-Aggression Study. I often wondered if thyroid affected aggresive moods.
Some studies have shown a correlation, so the idea that thyroid dysfunction can affect aggression is not new, and it has also been correlated with other aberrant behavior, such as fearfulness and hyperactivity:

This new study will look at dogs that exhibit owner-directed aggression.
