I remember about three years ago now (Jax was still a pup) our cockapoo (now deceased) was about 13-14lbs and had a possum cornered out in the farm field! She was never leashed, always free roam, and it was scary! I kept trying to get her to come but she wouldn't let up. I felt bad for the possum, but he did not try to fight back - he was just making hissing-type noises, and did not know where to turn to. I think eventually he got away. I am not sure how vicious they are, but this one was definitely scared. I am not sure they are known for being terribly aggressive. But I know how scary it can be. I hate taking Jackson out at night because I'll hear things in the woods, or sometimes not hear things but see him perk up and I get scared there's something out there... lol |
