Anyone who intervenes in a dog fight is crazy.
“Anyone who intervenes in a dog fight is crazy.”
If it’s your dog that is being attacked, you’ll intervene. Or you should not have a dog.
I had to deal with two of my 95 lb dogs spoiling for a fight every night at bed time. They only did so when my wife was home. Last September, my wife went upstairs to our bedroom and a fight broke out in the hallway. I intervened as a 3rd 95 lb dog wanted to "jump in" on the action. It was a bloody scene and my ribs were very bruised. We dealt with the ongoing problem by putting one of the dogs down. It was my favorite of the two. The other was my wife's favorite. Last month, the 3rd dog, a Chocolate Lab was put down because she had a cancerous blowout in her gut. The last of the 95 lb dogs (the ONLY biter) jumped our Chihuahua this morning. I'm ready to send her to the rainbow bridge to prevent any more attacks directed at the smaller dogs.
I always intervened with a metal pole to pry them apart. It worked, but inevitably there were wounds to patch up. My wife rescued the Chihuahua this morning. Off to the vet. Two tooth punctures. Wounds cleaned. Pain meds. We will discuss the disposition of the 95 lb pup at dinner.
