"The dog was trying to tell her, 'I am going to bite you,'" Colleen Safford, a prominent New York-based dog trainer, told Yahoo News. "Dogs 'talk' to us with their body with each and every interaction. [b]This dog was repeatedly 'telling' the anchor that she was making him uncomfortable and if she didn't stop, he would bite."[/b]
"Basically, she did everything wrong," Ron Berman, a canine behavior specialist, told NBC. "She went up to a dog she didn't know--who didn't know her--and she either tried to kiss him or hug him or put her face too close to his face. He felt threatened and bit her."

Not everyone speaks dog.[/quote]

If you don't speak dog, don't get down into a large dog's face and try to "hug" him.[/quote]
