the look that kills
Chandi has this amazing ability to be strong yet gentle. Sometimes however, her tendancy to be gentle and submissive is abused by other dogs.
Yesterday, Chandi and I went to the dog park at our normal time of 6P. When we got there, I let her off leash and she ran around with a 1 1/2 year old pug. Then Chandi saw one of her best buds, Bacci, a shitzu. Bacci, usually very playful, had found a dog toy earlier that day and was enamoured by it. Therefore, he wasn't in the mood to play around at that moment. So, Chandi kept playing with the pug. Finally, Bacci's mom hid the toy so Bacci could do some socializing and it began.
They played, jumped, layed around for a good 15 minutes when terror arrived. He is this Welch terrier, 14 weeks old bully of a dog. At first, he wasn't interested in the two dogs but a few minutes later he attacked Chandi. He stood over her, she was on her back, and put his jaw around her neck. She was almost suffocating, yet nothing came out of her mouth. I remember being paralyzed in anger and fear due to this damn terrier. Bacci's mom picked the terrier up and said, "Yea, this is not healthy." The owner of the terrier, Cool Dude, said, "No," to his dog and put it down. Again, it went after C and bit off her ear, her throat and legs. WTF?!!?!? I wanted to yell but was so quiet. I don't where my voice went. We left a few moments later. It was dramatic...more dramatic than I can write. I am irritated at myself because I am supposed to protect her. And I couldn't do my job.
Look at her!! I am going to give the owner a piece of my mind if I see him today. I hate Cool Dude. I hate him more than his dog, because dogs reflect their owners.
