Thor won't walk over grates. Once when I was rushing I accidentally dragged Thor over a grate, and yep, he fell partway in.
Thor doesn't mind if I want over grates, as long as it's clear that he doesn't have to. I just automatically go around them now without even thinking about it. I've noticed with some other small dogs I walk that they don't like grates either. So yes, I think, they correctly assess that they could get their little feet stuck.
I've not sure about the sewer grates, but I wonder if it was just the noise + steam? Sounds like it could be scary for a doggie. |
