I have no problem picking up my little dogs when the big dogs come running at us. Maggie does not like big dogs and if it makes her feel better for me to pick her up when big dogs are around then that is what I will do. There are big dogs in the neighborhood that are allowed to run off leash, they run at us barking and growling. I am not going to let them attack my dogs. I don't blame the dogs, I blame the owners. However, the owners only laugh at us. I will protect my dogs and if it means picking them up, that is what I will do. We will worry about their ego later.
