The strangest thing happened yesterday. I live in a kinda bad part of town and I like to take Jack, my new boxer, for long walks and introduce hime to people so he will become socialized. (He has lived with busy owners up untill now that kept him in a pen.) So anyway, lots of people come up to us on the street and want to meet Jack and I make him sit and introduce them. Yesterday a mom and two girls (about 6yr. old and 10 yr. old), came up to us and I introduced them. They were just coming home from bible school. The girls asked if he bites, because Jack looks pretty big and mean, and I said "not that I know" because I've only owned him 11 days. So I let them pet him and kept an eye on him, (because children are a new thing to him and these were about the third set he had met so far) and I chit chatted a bit with the mom. And do you know that that crazy 10 yr old girl bent down and bite Jack on the neck!!!:eek: I jerked back on his leash because If it had been my Mutt Duncan the girl would have been dog food. But Jack just remained very still and didn't do twitch and eye. Thank God. I could just see it now "Girls face eaten off by oversized Boxer." and who would believe that she bite him first????:confused:
So after seperating the crazy kid and my baby i told her in no uncertain terms that that kind of action meant lets play rough in doggie and that she did not want this dog playing rough with her. Her mom seemed to catch on that her daughter had upset me and ushered the little demon off. I thanked Jack for not killing the child and continued on our walk. But I had never experieced anything like that before!!:confused:
All I have to say is beware strange kids, I guess you'll never know what they'll do and thank God boxer's are gentle.lovicon
