Ah. I knew that there was a name or two I forgot to include on my last post. I hope you find it of interest.
Those are good talking points! Fast forward a few years and I’m walking my full grown dog in our neighborhood. Bertie is as laid back as they come. 115 pounds of dog who believes that he’s smaller than a loud, mouthy chihuahua. We were taking our daily constitutional and I could see a few hundred feet away a dog running loose. It was a neighbor’s dog who was able to spring over a 4 ft fence. One look and I could tell it was a pb mix. I was a little uneasy to say the least. It came running over to my dog and sniffed and ran around him and then put down its front paws with his butt in the air. He wanted to play and was friendly albeit hyper. I was able to take him back to his home and using a dog biscuit to lure him, get him back behind his gate. This type of incident happened twice.
Within 6 months I noticed that the pb mix was no longer in his backyard. I met the neighbor and he told me that his dog, Buddy, attacked a neighborhood dog doing serious injury to it. He had to put Buddy down. I thank God for keeping me and my dog safe when we met Buddy on our walks. His ability to spring into the air was a thing to behold. His owner tried to keep him in the fenced-in yard but Buddy was determined to get out. I try to steer clear of these dogs. There is no telling when they will decide one day to attack.
