There is a follow up Video going around now, I will see if I can find it. I blame both the news Anchor and the dog owner. More so, the dog owner. It is his job to protect his dog and it is his job to watch his dog for stress and remove his dog from a situation that is making his dog uncomfortable. He should have never allowed anyone to get in his dogs face.
When I am out with my Rottweiler I get tons of people that want to pet her. I show them the correct way to "meet" her. I always watch Adria for stress (ear carriage, her eyes, panting, etc.) if I ever saw her under stress I would remove her from the situation before it esculated to the point that she thought she had to protect herself. Usually though, as soon as someone starts to pet Adria, she rolls over so they can pet her belly...she is a very modest girl. |
