I have a BIG fear of big dogs. We have had big dogs and I loved them but that fear of truning was always in the back of my mind. And even more so now that I have children of my own.
When my brother was 7 he was attacked by a golden retriever. Can you belive that? This dog was the family pet and was gental and sweet. But for some reason and out of nowhere this dog just went after my brother while we were playing in the yard with our cousins. This dog meant to harm because he went right for my brothers neck. My brother was a very chunky boy and the doctors say it's what saved his life. If he didn't have that little extra fat that dog would have gotten to his wind pipe. This happened when I was 9 and now I'm 37. And I can still remember it like it was yesterday.
And just 3 weeks ago my 2.5 lbs Gus was attacked by a 75 lbs german shephard. And survived!!! Details on the attack and survival of my baby is posted under "News" Woman strangles rottweiler after it attacks her yorkie. |
