There have been countless threads on how misunderstood our beloved breed is but I believe this one ranks in the top 10.
Yesturday at our son's football practice we decided to bring Creed along. We got the usual fearful stares (as if we were walking a rabid alligator through the park) of the uneducated. But there were a few parents who were more than willing to let their child come and get licked all over their faces by our wiggling beaning bundle of joy. We even had a guy stand about 10 feet away, wait his turn so to speak to come let us know that he also had a boxer and how great they really are.
But the end all to beat all-One of the wanna be team mom's came walking by pushing a stroller with a 4 or 5 yr. old in it (about 10 feet from us) at the same time someone decided to kick a soccer ball past her. Well Creed being a boxer thought that was an invitation to play and jumped a little bit. She screams "Don't eat the baby!" "Don't eat the baby!" I couldn't help but burst into laughter. I thought it was just hillarious. Probably not for her but the fact she thought I would bring a baby eating canine to a park full of children. I tried to explain to her that he only wanted to chase the soccer ball but she ran away as fast as she could looking behind her the whole time. All I could think was you poor woman, you just don't know what your missing.
