This is a little off topic but I once had a Bassett hound that loved EVERYONE. However, one day we were at the vets and this man walked in to pick up his own dog and Dixie went into one of those head down, low rumbling continuous growls. The fur on her back was standing up like I had never seen on a dog before. She didn't stop until the man left. The vet came out about that time and couldn't believe it ether. She even called her partner out to see it. It was just sooooo uncharacteristic in this particular dog. The man was dressed very nicely (expensive overcoat) and appeared to be of Eastern descent. He had no accent and I'd wager he was born in this country. The only thing about him that would have separated him from anyone else in the room was his nationality. (He was good lookin too.) lol
Dixie was never like that again and remained the dog who loved everyone until the day she died. Strange. |
