Did they rip 1/2 your face off and chew up your arms and legs or did the nip you and leave 2 drops of blood...
I’m convinced that the intention of each of the dogs (chihuahua & teacup poodle) was indeed to maul me, if they had been big enough to achieve their aim. These dogs are in separate houses and each lunged at me, leaping off chairs, snarling, with teeth bared. They each did it on more than one occasion. Each time their owners laughed it off because of the size of the dogs; the owners thought the dogs were “cute”. No, they were displaying vicious behavior and their actions would have been dangerous if the dogs were bigger or if I had been a small child.
That was the point of my comment, BTW, that it’s temperament and owner leadership which is imperative. ANY DOG, regardless of size or breed, can be dangerous if the owners don’t take responsibility.
