And a good reminder to all us dog owners to remember that you can never 100% trust them, no matter how docile they seem.<br /><br />You may remember we thought long and hard about adopting a street dog when we were in Bosnia. She was an amazing dog, just wonderful in every way. But it was always at the back of my mind that she was a street dog and we would never know if she could be totally trusted. xDorset Dispatcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457466586411004146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-24106749138415354102011-10-16T18:37:52.911+01:002011-10-16T18:37:52.911+01:00We humans need to never forget that animals are an...We humans need to never forget that animals are animals, and that they allow us to be close to them... but that closeness does not change their essence or their nature.

We don't have dogs, though I love them, but because I don't live with them I treat all dogs with healthy respect. <br /><br />Hope they both recover well and you relax from the shock.<br /><br />xxLou Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06349559305444036113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-55458287117098477502011-10-15T10:29:15.386+01:002011-10-15T10:29:15.386+01:00Wow!

In my recent blog, I put how my friend ended up chucking a glass of water over her dog to calm it down / stop it snarling. Certainly a rapid diffuser. Having it confirmed that you can't trust them is depressing.Millahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967731998504496807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-63661351083018442772011-10-14T16:50:24.786+01:002011-10-14T16:50:24.786+01:00Blimey how awful.

However, the 8 year old is forever hanging round her neck and kissing her. She just looks up at me, patient as ever, as if to say "Get him off me". I do have to tell him not to push her too far though - is ever she wasn't feeling well and really didn't want him fussing her, I'm sure she wouldn't hesitate to let him know. You have to be realistic - they're animals first.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-76878000085766429332011-10-14T14:32:19.848+01:002011-10-14T14:32:19.848+01:00Scary, and so awful when it is a spat between two ...Scary, and so awful when it is a spat between two dogs who you love.

I grew up with dogs, all of them soft as a brush, so thought nothing of going to the rescue centre to buy another.<br /><br />This dog, on the surface, was also lovely. However, when I bent down once to pick up a chicken bone that had accidentally dropped on the floor he decided it was his and went for me. I was reasonably lucky - just needed 3 stitches, by a plastic surgeon, to my lip that was hanging open.<br /><br />It did make me a little less trusting, especially as it turns out the rescue centre knew about his character but never told us, but I do have another dog now so I must still love them!Spencer Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909895952382296428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-67457078362432919012011-10-14T03:56:34.457+01:002011-10-14T03:56:34.457+01:00We have had several dogs at a time, and while ther...We have had several dogs at a time, and while there was conflict, nothing ever like this.<br />But I understand how your experience could be very frightening — for the dogs and you.<br />Hope Tattie is OK.

She will NEVER be mine or indeed have anything to do with me -until ofcourse I feed her - then she allows me favour!!!!! I could go on - but we have witnessed many confrontations - some worse than others. ((((HUGS)))) I know how frightening and unnerving such incidents can be xxxmrsnesbitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882736507772457598noreply@blogger.com
