You think like my husband. I guess I just expect the worst. I'm expecting the lady to demand our dog be removed from the property and I'd assume, because of concern for liability, the landlord would agree. Our dog truly isn't aggressive though- he's afraid of everything. If there's another dog outside he normally will attempt to hide behind us or come inside the house- he's never gone towards another animal like that- ever. I'm guessing you're probably right. He must have perceived a threat and was protecting our daughter... it makes me feel so stupid though. He's gone out with her countless times this summer and has never done that... why today. I don't want to give up on him. He's definitely part of our family I just don't think it's realistic to think they'll let us keep him... I hope you're right. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I really appreciate that.
