He barks and growls at them if they come too close to us. Because of this, we usually muzzle him when we take him out. Safer for him that way, really.<br />You'd think a muzzle on a dog would be enough to deter people from lunging at him. Nope, it doesn't work. There have been multiple times where people ask why he's muzzled while in the process of bending down at him, and just before he lunges. Then somehow it's OUR fault that he scared them.<br />I tell people to eff off when this happens. And sometimes, I jokingly say KILL to Winston, and that always gets him wound up. (We use the word KILL to indicate playtime with his toys. NOT to attack or anything like that)<br />Overall, though, people are ding dongs when it comes to dogs.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03547647596307361415noreply@blogger.com
