Oh, BB, it's true. Just picking up a little dog didn't stop that Dalmatian from wanting more. He was fixated on both of us and kept walking slowly after us, head slightly down and forward. He was intent on more action I am convinced. Most dogs after a bite or an attack will retreat, act somewhat scared, usually aware that the presence of a human is about to bring retribution of some type on them. But this guy - he was emboldened. I truly think if I hadn't the stick and started acting somewhat intimidating as I tried to get Jilly away and home to the car and vet, he would have gone after both of us. And when I saw the people he belonged to, I even wondered if he hadn't been maltreated by them and had some hatred of humans. But that dog stalked us after his attack. Ugh!
