I was out walking Chevy this morning like we do every day. We went down the street that is a block behind us and I heard dogs barking inside houses (like always). I had Chevy sit at the corner before we crossed the street. As soon as we crossed, I hear some commotion from behind and a bulldog comes barreling across the street towards us! I tried to pull Chevy back from this dog but it jumped right on him barking and snarling and I heard Chevy yelp. It happened so fast I didn't know what to do. The owner then yelled for the dog and it went back home. I checked over Chevy because he was kind of holding up his paw. No bite marks and no blood which was good but he seemed shakend up. I don't even think he knew the dog was coming until it was right up on him. So the owner walks over and tells me he's sorry and someone must have left the door open and asked if Chevy was ok. I was still in shock and just said he was fine. I just wanted to go home. I got home, now in tears, and checked him over real good again and there are no marks and he is walking fine. I took him outside to play for a bit too to see if he acted any different which he didn't.
I called Animal Control and left a message for them to call me back. They're only in the office during certain times so I don't expect a call back until later this afternoon. I'm not even sure if they can do anything since there are no visible marks on Chevy. Anyone have any expierence with something like this? We've never had a problem with a dog attacking ours. We've had dogs run up to ours and we continue walking without incident. This makes me not even want to go for walks anymore
