Let’s face it. We have all been on a walk when a ‘cute’ small dog approaches us, then instantly turns into Mr. Hyde – lunging, fangs, growls and barks. This behaviour is usually dismissed by the owner as normal and quickly forgiven by the recipient.
Same scenario, different dog – lets substitute the cute small dog with a 75 pound Rottweiler or German Shepherd. That kind of behaviour would consitute an ‘attack’ by a very aggressive dog. Perhaps one that should be put down.
Both dogs are equally behaving badly and not as balanced members of society.
Please do not make excuses for small dogs. That chewing on your ankle as it passes should not be tolerated. Owners: that is not the least bit cute and charming. You must teach your small dog to walk properly and respect others using the sidewalk.
It’s time that we all got along – whether it be a 3 pound Chihuahua or a 120 pound Black Russian Terrier.
