My roommate and her friend are brushing it off saying that he's just a puppy, but I worry because Alfie can't defend himself and if he gets stepped on by this huge dog he can get hurt. I expressed my discontent to my roommate, but she brushed it off. It's too much having this huge dog along with 2 other dogs here, and I don't want Alfie to be stuck in my room for the 6 hours he's over here. It's not fair. I just do not trust this pup around Alfie. |
You are right to be very concerned about this, lab puppies can do quite a bit of damage to your little guy, they don't mean to, but nevertheless it could happen. This could cause Alfie to become afraid of all big dogs. Labs need time to grow up, and settle down, before they can be around small dogs, this usually takes at least 2 years. There is no way I would let Joey be in this situation.
