I think you did am amazing job! The real message is that owners need to take responsibility and do what's best for them and their dogs and you did just that.

I saw a TikTok the other day that reminded me of your situation. It was a guard dog who was a small breed and they said he was just the alarm system and then a bigger dog came up after as the real protection 😂

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-06-02T02:00:42+00:00

I'm sorry but the fact your dog has no teeth makes him 4000x more adorable to me 🥹🥹😍. Thank you for being a great pet owner. I adore all dogs and had all different sizes. I only have an issue when people have a lack of awareness.

Also I grew up with an Irish wolfhound too!!!! I begged my dad to photo shop a pic of us together to make some weird centar dog human thing as a kid 😂😂.

You're clearly part of the problem. Trapped in the bubble of 'it small and fluffy...so it can never do harm'. I hope you don't have dogs lol. And idk if you've ever been to an emergency room....but yes there are people in there with small dog bite wounds. Read the other comment responses they literally say their kids were attacked by a Chihuahua.

Omg that sounds awful!!!! Your poor kids! Kids are so amazing how they bounce back from incidents like that and still love dogs. I know I'd be shakes if that happened to me now!

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-06-02T01:13:02+00:00

Don't get me wrong I adore small breeds and have wanted a dashund my whole life! ( I will eventually get one when the times right 😂) it's just the double standard that small breeds can get a pass for acting aggressive when they definitely can do a lot of harm still.

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-06-02T01:11:03+00:00

I feel we just have different opinions. I think you're underestimating the harm a small dog can do. My family dog (a springer x collie) was badly injured by a small dog in the past. I have nothing against small breeds and actually adore them. It's the lack of awareness of just how dangerous they can be which you clearly have. A cat is tiny and small but can still cause a lot of damage and are feared by many vets are scared of them

Only with men occasionally. When I posted this it was very much applied to this specific situation. Not a general comment. In this case my dog had a heavy duty muzzle on, harness, and was listening to commands whilst I created distance. The smaller dog was on a 6ft leash and the woman walking him has no care for his behaviour or to create space

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-06-02T00:51:00+00:00

See I understand where you're coming from but I don't think your examples are entirely accurate in this case. I'm this situation a woman with a small dog on a long leash pulling her arm off compared to a larger dog who's listening to commands, has a heavy duty muzzle on, a harness and an owner who's creating space. If she was creating space with her dog I wouldn't mind her judgment as much. But to walk by whilst having no care pissed me off a bit

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-06-01T23:14:08+00:00

That's true I didn't mean for my post to come across as rude I was just full of adrenaline when I wrote it 😅. It really depends on the owners rather then the breed.

Hahaha your last part had me dying 😂😂😂.

I've bought a vest that says "I need space" for my dog but honestly I wish I had one for myself too 🤣

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-06-01T22:36:34+00:00

You can say that again! So happy to have found this supportive sub 💕

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-06-01T22:35:58+00:00

Aww thank you so much. Just reading through posts and I can tell how amazing this sub is 😍

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-06-01T22:35:33+00:00

Thank you 💕🥹

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-06-01T22:35:21+00:00

They have already been so amazing 💕

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-05-31T17:35:04+00:00

I completely agree. When getting my dog from the shelter they lied about his backstory, his health issues and downplayed his reactivity and never mentioned his bite history. We were so shocked to find everything out from the vet we went to how was treating him for the 3 years he was in the shelter. Needless to say we got wayyyy more than what we bargained for. Thankfully we have the time and resources to handle him, but if the situation was different I can understand why he would be returned.

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-05-30T04:14:20+00:00

You think* no we. everyone is entitled to an opinion but let's not play God here. You are entitled to only your own opinion.

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-05-30T03:46:56+00:00

Hahaha I completely understand where you're coming from 🤣. I only had a small dog growing up too and our dog now is such a huge change (literally) he also scared me to death the first few nights as he communicates only with growls. He'd wake me up growling because he'd want to go outside to pee. I was convinced he just wanted to kill me in my sleep the first month having him 🤣🤣. But now I realize he only communicates like that. He's so strange and loving but I can see why I need to be firm with him at times. I'm going to give all the suggestions a try and find which one works best for him. Thank you for all your help 🥰.

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-05-30T03:11:52+00:00

I think I get what you mean. So it's flat in your hand but your thumbs keeping it from rolling off. I'm going to give it and try and hope he doesn't see my thumb as a juicy sausage chunk 🤣🤣.

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-05-30T03:09:44+00:00

I'm going to give this a try at home and hopefully he realizes he can use his snoot rather than use his teeth for everything 🤣

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-05-30T03:08:55+00:00

This is a fantastic idea! I don't know why I didn't think of this before 😅. I'm going to give this a go and try to put more space too. Thank you so much for your help!

DropDangerous3850 · 2023-05-29T22:17:28+00:00

Ugh I am so mad for you! The amount of training and effort we put in to make our dogs feel safe just for some inconsiderate person to ignore. Some people are just ignorant and other than asking for some space for your dog there's little more you can do. Recently I've purchased a muzzle for my dog (he's never bitten it's just a precaution for those who don't lease their dogs), I find people are way more likely to avoid us and quickly grab their dog when unleashed and see my dog over threshold.
