Scooping Dutches up and putting your back to this on coming dog was a wise thing to do. |
exactly, Duchess has always been intimidated by big dogs. The old man just stood there and just watched. He made no attempts to come get his dog. At the time I wasn't sure if the dog was just being friendly and just wanting to play or being aggressive. Between Duchess growling and barking and this dog growling and trying to get to Duchess I couldn't tell. Anyway better safe than sorry.
I've always practice in my head what I should do in situations like this. Guess it finally paid off.
