If an owner doesn't give heads up that their dog isn't friendly, then we just have to let them work it out for themselves. I figure this is the equivalent to a knee scrap on a kid.

Can't believe this happened to poor little ...OMG!!! Can't believe this happened to poor little Theo! But at least he's not hurt (it didn't break the skin, right?) or traumatized, and hope he's learned the "correct" way of approaching an adult and larger dog. <BR/><BR/>I guess our corgis are so low to the ground that they sometimes appear to be easy targets for dominant/ aggressive dogs. I know of a corgi in San Francisco who got attacked by a dog who jumped off a parked pick-up's bed when he was just walking by with his owner. Got hurt pretty badly as I recall. I'm sure he's just unfortunate to be there at the wrong time, but as an owner you gotta be prepared to react when something like this happens (I know I'm not, I almost pissed my pants when a pitbull pinned Bryson down last time).

We'll see. I'm definitely keeping Theo away from Bear, severe sinus infection or no!<BR/><BR/>fairchild, welcome to my blog! :) CorGeek. Hehe. I've never heard that one. I'll have to use it! :) Yes, I believe biting the muzzle is a show of dominance too. Bear is a dominant dog, I knew that. I just didn't know that meant he couldn't even handle a puppy sniffing him! Theo might not have done the appropriate dog behavior, such as approaching from the side (rather than head on) and avoiding eye contact. Who knows. The way I see it, it's a good lesson for Theo.JuLohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666635743536304775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855276285056599610.post-15569451557227117292008-05-30T06:53:00.000-07:002008-05-30T06:53:00.000-07:00Hey, just a lurker, but I'm a total CorGeek.
