Sasha was MAD

• Sasha was MAD garrettandpaul Posted : 3/7/2006 7:30:45 AM Went to my parents house the otherday and decided to take Sasha with me. I knew my mom's dog was gone so no problem there. Well my mom's neighbor takes care of a mentally handicapped man(approx 35yo) who lives with her. He has always interacted very nicely with all the neighbors dogs and they all have seemed to just love him. Well Sasha was being on her best behavior during our trip until we came upto this guy walking outside and he asked could he pet her. I said sure just put your hand out first and talk to her and let her come to you,so not to scare her. Well anyways he did and she went nuts. She wanted nothing to do with this man would not let him touch her and just continuosly growled and barked at him. I thought dogs were supposed to know when people are sick and be better with them. She definately didn't like him for some reason and was fine with everyone else we met well there. Sorry so long just wanted to share what happened.[] LIKE 1 REPLY 340 VIEWS LAST POST SPIRITDOGS Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• spiritdogs Posted : 3/7/2006 7:33:31 AM Some dogs are horrified by sick people.  Depends on the dog. Mentally ill folks have a different scent sometimes, and that may be what spooked her.  If they meet again, have him look away from her, but toss some treats on the ground.  That way, she's learning that he isn't so scary, and he's not in danger. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
