My nawtee nawtee nawtee dog bit a little girl this morning. She is our next door neighbor, and she came running over to see him, and I had him tight on the leash, sitting, but when she got too close, he jumped at her and got her thumb
I apologized at least a hundred times to her dad, who was trying to get the kids off to the sitter and get to work, and I just feel terrible.
I am so scared that they are going to do something like call animal control or something and say we have a vicious animal. The dad, especially, is not a dog person at all.
He didn't even break the skin, but he did put a mark on her thumb, she cried, but I know she's ok--she is only 2 after all.
In all fairness, we were on our property, and she came running over, and these kids in the neighboorhood are all aware that he doesn't like kids--we told everyone that before we moved in.
I feel so bad--I know it was my fault--when I saw her coming, I should have picked him up, and drug him in the house--he just doesn't like kids.
I'm just so scared that they are going to want to take some kind of action against us, that's just me being paranoid, we couldn't have asked for nicer neighbors, but I'm very upset about it.
I'm going to call a behaviorist today to have him evaluated--our yard will be fenced soon, and then no one will even have to look at him.
