Years ago, I took my Sheltie out for a walk in the wild.
There was a herd of asses (no, not Democrats) and they came charging and surrounded us.
Showing their teeth and had their ears back.
I thought I was in for a real fight.
Then I noticed they were all looking at my Sheltie who was hiding between my feet.
I picked my dog up.
The asses were like, “Oh....it’s with the guy” and left.
“The asses were like, “Oh....it’s with the guy” and left.”
Very intelligent animals those non democrat asses. €;P)
As you found out the donks are very protective of their territory.
Glad your sheltie came away unharmed.
