They are cute doggies, but I prefer to keep my distance from them! Had many stitches on my right hand from the neighbors dog as I patted him on his daily walk and he proceeded to try and chew it off. Im guessing now, that even though the dog KNEW me, that because he was on a leash, he was probably just protecting his owner.
I bet your pup is much sweeter than the one I encountered as a young girl!
