Tale Ten - Dog Attack

Let me tell you about a dog trying to attack me when I was only three months old. Our yard was totally fenced, but I could see the dog next door through the fence. He didn't seem like a likeable dog so I was glad there was a fence. I did like to tease him I might add, because I was protected by our fence. I didn't like the looks of this dog. I could tell from his bark that he was not very friendly.

Well, my Mummy took me to see a neighbor. Mummy went to the neighbor's back door and knocked several times. No-one appeared to be home. So Mummy was starting to go back home. All of a sudden there was the very dog I was talking about racing towards me. He looked very angry and all I could see was how mean and big his face was coming towards me. I was trying to appear strong. Mummy had me on a leash. All of a sudden the dog lunged at me and my Mummy. She held onto the leash for a while, but let go as this dog tried to attack me. I had to think quickly. I was suddenly loose. Where should I go? I saw a bush so I ran to hide behind it. The dog tried to get me but he couldn't get through the branches. I could see that Mummy had fallen face down in the earth. All of a sudden the next door neighbor came out with his other dog and managed to get hold of the attacking dog. I started to run and run in the open field to try and get away from the situation. When I thought all was clear I looked around and saw Mummy standing in the distance and decided to come back to her.

The next day, we saw the neighbor digging a big hole at the back of his yard. We never did see that mean dog again.

P.S. The neighbor apologized and said that the local rescue had taken the dog????
