[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A medium sized dog almost bit my three year old in the face yesterday. She was sitting down in her stroller as we passed the dog and its owner on the sidewalk. I pulled my own, very small dog, to the right side of me as we passed since the dog was starting to bark and growl. All my daughter did was to look at the dog. What happens? The dog goes for the child. Teeth exposed, jaws snapping. Perhaps two inches from her face, held back with the lead. Sorry all rescue enthusiasts. You can never be sure what you're getting. [/quote]

I recently saw a woman at a car rental with a dog on a leash--about 25 pounds.  Her in a chair me at the desk.  Lunged and snapped when got within 5 feet of it.  It was a business and the gate to get behind the desk was not usable by staff until she picked up the dog securely.  Thing needed to be in public area with a muzzle and she said it doesn't like when people get near her.

I've walked past malinois, shepherds, labs on leads with cops and not seen this hazard.   ie in crowded train stations

These two posts are pointless if you don't say if you asked whether the dog was a rescue or
Not.  My dog is a rescue and is amazing with people of all ages, is housetrained but only likes certain dogs, and the shelter told me this before I adopted him.  There are plenty of rescue places and shelters that will tell you both the positives and negatives of a dog so you can make an informed decision.[/quote]
