I didn't see this?! That's terrible.
Ugh, it makes me ill.
I think having something to ward off dogs is very smart. I thought about it this past weekend when camping and there was a camper that had two Labs, one of which did NOT friendly and they were keeping him OFF leash (grrrr) and as I was walking Buddy (dads dog) and Jackson, he looked like he was about to charge us and I'm not sure what he would have done if he hadn't listened to his owners and turned around. Maybe he wasn't aggressive, but still.
ALL weekend long I could hear them shouting "Marley! Get BACK here!" I'm like... put your dog on a leash! He's obviously not reliable enough to be off it, grrr.
Anyways, I'm not really sure what would be best to do in a situation like that. Do you think grabbing your dog and kind of laying on top of them would help? But then the attack dog would probably be biting your back. I'm not really sure.
