Most pounds or animal adoption agencies would do the same. If they bring in any dog that shows any aggresion, if they can't resolve it being 100% sure, dog is put down. Any dog that growls for no obvious reason when being petted, that dog would have to go.
You did right by not taking it to the pound, wouldn't be fair to the owner and think if it got through and later turned and seriously hurt someone....
Obvious, you love animals and I'm sure the loss hurts just the same.
