D & I went for our routine walk with Happy this evening, on the way, we met our neighbour walking her two big dogs. One of them, the white dog with black patches which was not leashed attacked Happy unprovoked! As Happy wasn't leashed, we couldn't pull her away quickly. The dog was really fierce and Happy was so scared, she had her tail tucked in fear and urinated on the floor which is the ultimate doggy submissive gesture but that dog still wouldn't let up!!. D had no choice but to kick the attacking dog in the ribs twice to save Happy, which was pinned down on the floor by that big dog still attacking her. The owner just stood there doing nothing except yelled at her dog! Sigh! I felt really unsettled after this incident, I prayed that Happy and her doggy calming signals (Great book - On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals by Turid Rugaas) will not be greatly affected by this dog with it's unfriendliness and defective body language. In future, we'll take extra care not to bump into this neighbour and her mad dogs!
D said a prayer for me as I was quite affected by it. Now I felt better as Jesus is my peace! We prayed for Happy too, that she will be unaffected by this incident and that she will have Daddy God's protection on the road in future! Amen! She is such a blessed dog!
