It's a shame when we have to fear other people's animals. It's obvious this dog wasn't trained properly. It's probably taking on it's owner's behavior. Lol. I had a friend that has a pitbull. He was the sweetest dog. I was always watching him though. I'd never leave Calleigh alone with him, and never without his owner being present. I'm always on the lookout when I see any large dog. I think what you're doing is a good idea. Walking the smaller dogs alone makes a lot of sense. How wonderful the dogs weren't affected by what happened to Lucy. I would think she would be afraid now. I know when Calleigh was bitten by a Silkie it left her afraid of other dogs for a long time. Even now she is very submissive and rolls over when dogs sniff around her for very long. I'm so glad Lucy is doing so well. Please keep us posted on what's happening.
