So sorry for your loss

I was attacked by a retriever years ago...bite my arm, ripped my shirt off and bite me on the back. I had just gotton out of my car in front of this house and the little girl that lived there opened to front door to leave and the dog bounded out. I had not left the curb and was not going to that house. Before I knew it I was on the ground and the only thing that saved me from ???? is that the owner ran out and jumped in between me and the dog. I found out later that this was not the first time the dog had attacked someone. They are definitely not always the gentle dog people might think.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've always been leary about letting Roxie hang out with 2 or more bigger dogs. They do tend to pack up so to speak and that's pretty scarey. I'm also leary about any dog around Roxie that's been bred for hunting. I mean hunting of ducks, rabbits or anything of that nature if you know what I mean. Even if they're pets and not used for hunting purposes it's still in their blood and you can't remove that. I won't let Roxie around my daughter's husky and my son's husky/lab mix at the same time. They tend to try to corner her. It's all in play but I'm just not comfortable with it. They aren't as bad when it's one on one and I still don't trust that. But anytime there's 2 big dogs and 1 small it's trouble. Again I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm sending prayers up for you.
