I just thought I'd share my harrowing experience with you, my friends, here at HRC.

Last Sunday, we were at a friends house, with our 'puppy' Nero, a six-year-old American Red Nose Terrier. Our friend also has a dog about the same age... a chow.

The two dogs had gotten along quite well and pretty much kept to themselves while we were there throughout the weekend, but we noticed that if we wanted to play tug 'o war with one, the other would have to be made occupied as well, as to not make the chow jealous of the pit. We knew this, and educated the kids that were in the house to this fact, as well. Unfortunately, I don't know many seven-year-old kids that listen all that well, and sure enough, by the end of the weekend we had ourselves a ringside seat to the horrific scene of two 75+lb dogs going at it, by way of their very powerful, and 'lockable' jaws.

Now, chows are a VERY jealous breed... In fact, she actually dropped the sqeaky-toy that the kid was playing with her with, to reach over and bite my pit in the face. My dog, Nero, is the exact-opposite... wont even raise a brow if a cat walks by, and is about as docile as an animal gets... until bitten in the face. He was just impatiently waiting his turn to be played with, and was a bit too close for her comfort.

As the battle ensued, I ran accross the house to break it up. Now, getting yourself between two dogs that litterally 'can not' let go, is not an easy task. After about five minutes of trying to fit my fingers between the teeth, and flesh of each dog to try to wrench them apart, the chow let go long enough to try to get a better grip on the pit, and that's when I made my move. Unfortunately, my move put my left arm in biting-path of the chow that had let go. Ouch! Wrenching the two apart, I quickly pushed the chow into a nearby bedroom and closed the door. The battle was over.

Man! Talk about an adrenaline rush!

I really love my dog, and will never subject him to the likes of that jealous ***** ever again. I only hope she didn't turn my very loving, gentle puppy into something that fears, and is apprehensious towards other animals, by this terrifying experience. Now I have to be EXTRA cautious, and attentive to when we take him anywhrere there is another pup.(sigh)
