We took him to the dog stores and he never seemed to have a problem and we took him and Callie to a pet expo and he snapped (I say snapped but never saw his teeth mostly was just a bunch of icky noises) at a bigger dog. We never knew this was going to happen but my mom has had him since October and been with him almost all of the time sense then but still did not know that was going to happen he is the most loving dog whos temperament is not aggressive. A lot plays into how a dog is going to react and a lot plays into things we cant always feel or understand. I dont want you to think I am being mean or anything I am glad that you and Teddy are ok and I probably would have been angry if a dog was aggressive toward Callie. I just like to give the benefit of the doubt to some people and look at the other side hoping people will do that for me because someone could and might have come home from the pet expo we took my moms rescue too and said oh my gosh this lady brought some aggressive dog around other dogs and been mad when they didnt know the full story that he really is not an aggressive dog and that he never has done that before. |
I think what we can all take away from this is despite our dogs being our 'babies' and the obvious immense love we all here have for them, in the end they are dogs...unpredictable, which is a fact of life. Never assume a dog won't be a dog.
