Maybe you shouldnât have hurled yourself at that German Shepherd, and when you did, Dear might not have had a chance to let go of the leash. And why did you hurl yourself at the shepherd? For funsies or did he say something you didnât like?
Yikes! That happened to me this past summer when my Lab mix lunged after a rabbit and I didnât let go of the leash until I ended up face planted in the weeds. My shoulder hurt for weeks. Oh and he didnât get the rabbit.
Youâve all seen the cartoon where the dog takes off and the owner is flying along? Image a very petite woman with a Great Dane. She was lucky he headed across the grass and not down the sidewalk.
I had a Cheweenie who would threaten every dog we came across. Thankfully they were all leashed or very forgiving. Iâd hope a Basset would have a little more sense.
My mother walked up the icy back stairs on the day after Christmas. She was trying to get our beagle into the house when she tripped over him and broke her ankle. Every once in a while, for the rest of his life, she would look down at Gus and say, âIt was all your fault!â. Gus would just look up at her and wag his tail.
We had a Basset Hound puppy who was attacked by a German Shepherd. When she got older, she would attack that shepherdâs cage every opportunity that she got ⊠and the shepherd would cower in the opposite corner. If youâve ever looked at a bassetâs teeth, and watched them crack a soup bone, youâd show a load of respect. They are sort of a hard target to attack because other dogs will tend to get a mouthful of loose skin while the basset can turn around and literally go for the throat.

Not sure blaming is the best dimplomacy at the moment, Fred.
