Today my husband took Ripley on a jog in our neighborhood with a leash that goes around his waist. There is a neighbor that has a husky mix that attacks the fence whenever we walk by. Well today the neighbor apparently let the dog in the yard and forgot to close the gate, so when my husband and Ripley went by, the dog came running at Ripley. He went straight for Ripley's face, but my husband was thankfully able to grab the dog's scruff and hold him back. The dog kept trying to get at Ripley, but TJ was thankfully able to get him to his owner by hold him at the scruff (he also had no collar on). Ripley has a laceration on his nose and three puncture wounds on the right side of his muzzle. The owner apologized and said her dog is only dog aggressive.... I appreciate the apology, but I'm really upset by the whole situation. I really don't think a "dog aggressive" dog should be left alone in a yard all the time, especially when that yard is located near a main sidewalk. It seems to me like it would just add to the aggression. And she really is lucky this happened with my husband and not a smaller person or dog, because it could have ended very differently. Thankfully it wasn't worse, but it makes me mad every time I look at Ripley's poor face.
