Around here, there are a lot of dogs with "invisible fences" that either are ignored, or the battery on the collar is dead. That means a lot of 70+ pound Labs, Goldens, and mutts are running around. King isn't real patient with the ones that approach him on walks, but so far, he hasn't been attacked, yet. There aren't any real "tough guys" of any size around here right now, but there are several little ones that are really on the muscle. There's a new family on the next block with a JRT, and he's a real piece of work. Because of my continuing knee issues, I pay the kid next door to walk King (Molly doesn't enjoy walks at all, so she doesn't go), and a few days ago, the JRT decided King needed to be taught a lesson. King did ok, just pinned him, and then basically ignored him, and after a couple of minutes, the little guy calmed down and walked with King and the kid all the way back home. He even tried to come into the house with King, but we kept him out and called the owners who were looking for him. Their kids had left the front door open and he got out. Now that King and him are buddies, the kid next door might make some extra cash walking him with King. I hope he doesn't start coming over all the time, Molly wasn't happy at all when he came home with King, and if the JRT (Can't remember his name right now) gets near her, she won't be as nice as King is. The real tough guy is the Min Pin "Heidi" down the block, she's just plain nasty. She's chewed on several neighborhood dogs, including the giant Lab across the street. Not a good move, as fas as her future health is concerned, the Lab weighs about 145 pounds and she is maybe 20. If she ever angers him to the point he retaliates, it could get ugly.
