Cassie, my and my mom's beloved pug rescue, was attacked about a year and 1/2 ago by a very tennis ball driven yellow labbie. Cassie happened to have walked by the beloved tennis ball which the labbie was villigantely (sp?) protecting, and the labbie thought for sure Cassie was out to steal the tennis ball and so the lab attacked her. Cassie didn't even see the tennis ball, as she's the least ball driven dog I have ever met. She could care less about them.

The owner of the lab was really responsible and drove me, Cassie and Graham to the emergency vet clinic (it was at a dog park and I couldn't leave Graham behind) and paid for the vet in full, even though I offered to pay, she refused and insisted on paying. Cassie had 6 teeth knocked out from the lab, and had to have strict cage rest for 4 or 5 days, I don't remember the exact amount of time. Every time we would let her out of her little crate to go out for a potty, she would begin bleeding profussely from her nose. It was very hard and very sad. She certainlly didn't deserve that abuse that she got! The labbie that attacked Cassie, attacked a black lab about 3 weeks after she attacked Cassie and the black lab had to have several stitches in his head. The yellow labbie's owners never brought her to the dog park again.
