It's nice to hear for once big dogs getting loose and not attacking. She still could have easily gotten hurt by their sheer size but atleast they weren't acting aggressively. So many aren't trained well and do act aggressively and it ends badly for our little ones.

All the newfies I have met are all just big happy babies. It's their sheer size that can cause damage though.

Poor Maggie, I hope she isn't too traumatized by it all, she must have been so scared, I know I would have been. They must look like giant monsters to her. I'm so glad no one got hurt.

Thanks, and yes, it is refreshing to know that there are responsible pet owners in my neighborhood. Just about all the dogs in my neighborhood are pretty gentle. Not that I would just openly let mine loose around them all but I do know that I can feel calm around them.

Hopefully they will not be to offended.
Mina lives with a 65lb dog that I do trust,he is 15yrs old and without him I would not of been able to train the other dogs here as easily. However if a friend was going to visit with another small dog,2bits would need to be in another room. I do love all dogs but am not willing to take a chance.

I certainly do not blame you. There are 2 poms in my neighborhood that I would never let loose around mine 2. These poms bark and are so agressive towards any animals or people who walk past their home. And I have heard that they have provoked my other neighbors jack russell. So it's not the just big dogs that we need to watch out for.
