I was walking through the parking lot of a supermarket, a while back, and I passed in between cars. I saw a golden retriever in the back of a car, eyeing me with a baleful look.
I am unable to pass a golden retriever without admiring the furry golden bundle of love, so I paused ever so slightly as I looked at the dog… And it launched itself at the window snarling at me!
I have to tell you, I was so utterly surprised and startled! It was absolutely the last thing I expected! Never had it happen to me before or since with a golden, but it was all teeth coming at me!
Maybe it felt vulnerable in the car...but the behavior is not usual in that dog.
“All teeth” describes most dogs “protecting” a car...
