So, we were on the beach this morning, playing ball and having a grand old time.
We were just getting ready to leave when a lady who had just gotten there with her beautiful GSD asked if I had any poop bags as she had forgotten hers. She heads towards us with her boy, on leash, both mine were also on leash. Next thing her boy attacks Thorai, she drags him off but he is really upset, snarling and growling really aggressively. She assures me that he has never done that before and that he is really good around other dogs?? She puts him in a sit and we take off.
We had just gotten about 10 feet from them when I hear her yell. Next thing he is in front of us and jumps on Chara and has her by the neck. I was helpless, I was trying to hold Chara and try to keep Thorai away as I'm sure he would protect his sister. The lady gets behind her dog and drags him off. Whew, scary. She is clearly upset and keeps telling me that he has never done that before at this point she has him pinned to the sand and he is fighting, snarling, growling......... I have never seen aggression like that before.
So my question is, can I believe her that he is not aggressive???? Can a dog turn into a demon for no apparent reason?? My guys were not acting dominate or giving him any reason to freak out.
