I'm apologize you guys but I seem to have had my share of whacky dog related events. I'll pester you with one more. This one happened 10 years ago just after I had imported a wonderful working female Rottweiler. She was 2 1/2 and titled. I was walking her and my male Rottie who was recovering from surgery. It was an empty ball park and soon an old car pulled in. They had let their pit bull mix out at the entrance and were exercising it by letting him chase the car into the parking lot. He came running into the lot and spied my male and made a beeline for him. He paused 10 yards out while he sized things up and then promptly attacked. The owners - 2 men and a woman - didn't lift a finger. I grabbed him and put a knee into his head and yelled for the owners to come get their dog. They did and they gave me a piece of their minds while doing it. I was furious but grabbed my female to put her in the van. I arrived at the back door and they did too. I told them clearly that my dog had just had surgery and they had a responsibility to control their dog. One of the fellows slipped his hand into his open jacket as one would for a cross draw. He said he had had enough of me and was likely to kill me and my dogs.
Now, I had not a clue about what the female was or how she worked but I had her by the collar at my right hand. I looked the fellow right in the eye and told him he would never clear it before the dog tore him up. They all looked down at Izzy and I did too hoping I'd see something. I didn't...but this situation just dissolved. They turned muttering, hopped in the car and drove off.
As I worked her later I saw what they did and what they did not. In defence her eyes got darker and she grew very intense. What they did not see was that she bit like a snake. Very fast, very hard.
Thank you Isabel. You saved my bacon. I'm sorry I sold you.
