Mikey almost got full-on attacked

[Alysser]

I don't want to get authorities involved, simply because, nothing happened...also this dog is a very nice dog to people so it's really not fair to get an dangerous dog warrant put on her. There are worse dogs on our block who'd attack a person any chance it got. It just really scared me. I was also thinking, since we were in front of her house, do you think she was being territorial? I'm not sure. I definitely will start walking a different route, and if I go that way, I will definitely look out for her. Good ideas though! Thanks guys!

That would certainly be scary! I had kinda the opposite probably with my last lab. She was a little aggressive as she got older, but she never hurt anyone. She'd just growl and snap if a dog came in her space. I never let her off leash so I wouldn't cause a fight. I had a lot of people let their dogs run around here who wouldn't listen to their owners and would come up to us. I would get really upset too. It's very scary to see dogs fight.

I just wish people would keep their dogs on leash where there might be other dogs if they don't listen. People around here just don't seem to care and let their dogs go everywhere.

I really think that person should keep her dog on a leash at all times, especially if it's so aggressive!

I am sure she was "protecting" her property, that's a pretty basic instinct. Yup, taking a different route is a good idea. And it'd give Mikey different scenery to sniff!
