Molly was on an extendable. I use this because my girls never get off lead to run and on a wide grassy area this gives them a but of freedom. In future I will keep them on a short lead until I reach the field. These things we learn by our mistakes.
Thanks for the tip to wash Molly. Never thought the bulldog smell might still be on her will do that today.
The owners of the bull dog were very upset and genuinely concerned for Molly and me. She has come over twice to check how we are doing. I took Molly to hers yesterday evening because I wanted to see
Molly's reaction to the dogs. I kept Molly in my arms outside but she could see the dog through the patio door. Molly was her usuall wiggy licky self with the lady. She even had a sniff over at the dog (from a distance) I'm not that brave. Carol obviously loves her dogs and I feel she'd deserves the chance to correct the behaviour she assures me the dog will never have the opportunity to do this again and will never be off lead. I believe she will do her best and so will not take this any further. But if I ever see the dog unrestrained I will not hesitate to report it. |
I'm so glad Molly was okay I sometimes dread reading these posts I totally agree with how you've handled this I think if the owner of the other dog is genuinely sorry and alters how she does things with her dog from now on and the main thing Molly is ok then a brilliant outcome! Go Molly
I must add Ryman is only 9 weeks so not been outside for walks yet thats the one thing I'm dreading ...another dog darting for him they move so blinking quick!
