OFF LEASH: On little dogs
"Off Leash" is an occasional column by Fiddler.
Several days ago during my morning walk I encountered a small, white dog. When I say “small” I mean not much bigger than a cat. As soon as the dog saw me, he ran toward the chain-link fence separating us and begin barking angrily. I should point out here that I am what might be called a medium-sized dog -- I weigh in at a solid 55 pounds. There are plenty of dogs bigger than me, of course, but in relation to this puff of fur and attitude I am a veritable monster. And yet, from all appearances, he wanted to fight me to the death. To small dogs everywhere I wish to say the following: Chill out. And to this small dog in particular: You’re lucky the fence was there, my friend.
