I'm so sorry to hear about poor little Aggie and my heart goes out to the owner as I'm sure they must be devastated by the loss. RIP Aggie...
Just these past 2 weeks I had 2 incidents that occurred back-to-back. Last week when I was walking Cassi and Ori, someone had their golden retriever leashed to the railing. Of course, I checked first to make sure it was leashed as a I cautiously walked over. As soon as I walked in front of the house, the retriever got really excited and managed to break the chain off and started to run towards us. I immediately scooped up Cassi, but Ori started running towards the retriever and I had to drag him back and managed to grab him as well. It was a really close call b/c the retriever got as close as a feet away from Ori. By then...of course I was already screaming my head off. Thank goodness the owner's kid was out and heard me b/c they immediately dragged the retriever away. I know retrievers are generally friendly dogs, but you never can't be too cautious.
Okay so fast forward to today. I took Cassi/Ori out for walk this early evening and while I was walking away from my house, I noticed a stray dog was walking out of my back yard towards us. The dog looked like a retriever/labrador/collie mix. As soon as I saw the stray dog, I immediately picked up Cassi/Ori and ran down the block to one of the neighbors house. Later I found out the stray dog belongs to some family on our block and that he's managed to jump the fence on a few occassions. After hearing this....I'm now terrified of taking Cassi/Ori for walks. What a dilemma!!!
