I had an earlier post on Jake my rescue.
He is getting too aggressive. At first it started when he jumped on top of me on my bed the other night. I thought perhaps it was a territorial issue and that he had seen Chloe get on the bed at times.
He started the "mouthing" thing with my daughter and me and made me even more caution but thought perhaps it was in play.
Well today, he started the mouthing on my hand and it got worse. I had him on leash and he got my leg. Kept gnawing on it, broke skin, tore my pants. I was dragging him all the way into the kitchen, on my leg, to get weinies to distract him. I gave him two and was able to throw the rest in his kennel to close him in there.
I know dogs can smell fear but how do you not fear when a huge dog is chewing on your leg? He could do this to one of my girls or worse.
I feel awful as I wanted to save him and have spent money on nothing and know they will probably put him to sleep.
He obviously needs someone alot stronger to deal with this. I noticed over the weekend he barked and would not stop, when my hubby raised his voice around the house. He has been through something with his past owners obviously.
Ugh, I feel awful!
