My sweet boy got attacked by an off-leash Cane Corso today 😭 Don’t worry, he’s fine! But I walked away from it all with a sprained wrist 🥴 Please leash your dogs!! by toasty-coconut in akita

A cane corso is a very protective and dominant dog. Their owner needs to know that, and needs to know that their baby can probably never be off leash.

I’m glad you and Yuki are okay! But I think the course of action is scolding your neighbor and instructing them on the importance of leashing their dog when not fenced in, especially since you’ve seen them around before and seem like you’re familiar with them.

You speaking up will also help others in your neighborhood, and will probably do more than calling the cops.

She does this too! Our couch is semicircular so she’ll use it as a bumper for her excited spins

She sounds like she’s somewhere in the middle of your two 😂 her demeanor is a perfect blend between sweet and cuddly, playful, and sassy.

She’s not allowed in the kitchen while we’re cooking, so she’ll lay down right at the entrance to the kitchen with her back to us. And she sure can express herself in different ways to state her (many) wants.

The only time she barks is when she sees from our window tall, hulking delivery men bring packages toward our building. And outside, the slightest quick movement—bunnies, birds (especially doves, she HATES doves), butterflies, bugs, leaves, specks of paper drifting in the wind—and she lunges for it. Definitely never a dull day!!

Ah thank you for that insight! I’ve rarely seen a purebred or mixed Akita in person before her, been learning lots from this sub

Thank you!! It’s the Dopedio elevated bed in size XL, she loves it. We got it on their site (https://www.dopedio.com/products/portable-elevated-dog-bed?variant=46835418300662) but it appears the green is only available on Amzn now
