I do get upset from time to time when people with little dogs cross the street and act like my dog is trying to kill their little dogs who half the time are not on a leash....yet my dog is the bad guy because of his size but he's minding his own business and on a leash and is more interested in trying to find tree branch to collect and take home(yea....my big boy is crazy like that lol). Yet, having a small dog I do understand your fears because a large dog can very easily hurt a small dog....I'm lucky that my two are like PB&J despite the huge size difference (Ella is 3ibs and big guy is 75 pounds). I just don't want people to think all big dogs are out to eat small dogs. |
Oh, I do agree with this too.
I hope to have a German Shepherd some day. And I'd probably have it off leash at times, because I am into training, etc, so I'm sure it'd be a well trained dog, and if by chance he ever did run up to someone in excitement, I would certainly say 'sorry!' and explain he's friendly, etc, etc. I mean, accidents will happen, and dogs will be dogs! I walk a 120lb Rottweiler every day with Jackson and the two of them are friendly as can be.
I can see both sides for sure.
