I was tagged by a dog tonight. An 18 month old husky. Not neutered. He's been a bit mouthy, but many young dogs are like that in the shelter. People get these outdoor dogs and keep them in and dont walk them. Then dump them at the shelter. Oi He walked well when I first took him out, but as we got to a main street the cars seemed to ramp him up. He started jumping at me and grabbing my arm. I know not to pull my arm out, but instead to push my arm into him so I still have control... but I slid on the grass. Technically that is not a bite. I pushed him over to a flag pole and tied him to it and called for help. Oi.

Hopefully not too bad for you.
I might have some arm guards around somewhere…

Sorry to hear that. I really wonder how/why these people pick these dogs. The Doso is always posting these abandoned dogs that turn out to be stupid expensive animals.

Poor thing just not knowing better.
And you having to suffer because of the bad previous owner. :o

I'm glad you weren't hurt.

Every time I read a story about how many people adopted puppies during the pandemic, I thought about all your stories about people giving up animals and wondered how many of those pandemic puppies would last past lockdown.

I would say that most of the big non pit breads we have been getting in are pandemic puppies. They are all 2 years old or just a bit younger. Lots of huskies because they are so pretty. They are one of the most active breeds.
