My sweet dobie got attacked tonight. We were walking our usual route and pitbull came out of nowhere and attacked us. I’ve never kicked a dog so hard in my life, I screamed no one came. No owner in sight, no leash in site but he had a collar. Some owners are so irresponsible,it’s so disappointing. I will say my boy held it down and protected me. He’s 11 months, and he didn’t seem as shaken up as I was. I checked him and he had a small cut but he seemed okay. I guess part of my vent is where do we go from here ? My boy is supper sweet, loving, he likes others dogs and other people. I specially socialized him like crazy and still do; where I go he’s with me. He’s been in puppy school since he was 3 months, so I’m going to ask the trainer for advice. But, has anyone else’s dobie got through something similar? Would my dobie recover mentally, I’m afraid he won’t like other dogs ?
