I took Dexter & two of my sons out tonight for a little walk - only to the field at the back of our house. As we got there, a man was coming out with a tiny terrier off lead. He allowed his dog to come sniff; but must have know that his was not friendly as he then said 'oh dear, his tail is stiff, not good' and grabbed his dog, but not before the little thing had bitten Dexter in the foot. Dexter yelped & hobbled off. He was quite sore for a few minutes & couldn't walk on it. The man just wandered off while I was inspecting the foot. It all looks fine & he walked fine afterwards. But it left me feeling quite amazed. Should I have done anything different ?
I have always personally been wary of large dogs but all that I have met with Dexter have been gentle. Is it the small ones that are generally snappy ?
