I'm glad the dog is okay
And I semi-understand people overreacting to dogs.
A 6-month-old boxer is a large energetic dog. My sister-in-law has one. At this point it's 100 lb dog that thinks it should sit in your lap.
And some families have been traumatized by dogs. While on bikes.
My brother Leon was attacked while delivering newspapers when he was a kid. That dog chased him down and took him down. Lucky to be alive.
He has multiple dogs and loves them all.
My sister Lisa had her eye ripped out of its socket by a dog on Halloween. The owners didn't lock up their nervous dog and they opened the door to my sister and the dog lunged and ripped out her eye. The doctors put it back in but it was touch and go for a while.
My sister has her dog that she loves dearly and I'm sure she's cuddling right now since her husband died a week ago.
I have never owned a dog. I've lived in houses where other people own dogs and I've taken care of dogs but I've never had my own dog. I can see it's different.
I also know that I occasionally have to stare down a dog and figure out whether or not this dog has bad intentions and for the vast majority of the time I will simply sit there and wait for the dog to show up and deal with whatever happens next. Tailwagging may or may not tell me.
