DOG
DAYS
Sept. 10, 2007
We lost Bella this summer. She would have been 12 next month. She had some kind of crazy seizure and died on the way to the veterinarian. It was a dark day for me. She was an inspiration and helped me really grow as a human being. She will be missed by me forever. This site was originally inspired by her.
There are certain times and places where a dog is more likely to be aggressive. By being aware of these danger zones, you may avoid being bitten or if you are a dog owner, you may be able to prevent your dog from biting someone else. If you have a dog which is aggressive, you should seek professional advice before someone is injured.
Danger Zones include:
1. On the dog owners property. The dog may react aggressively to people it considers as intruders.
2. Close by owners property. The dog may not recognise the boundary fence or the foot path as being the limit of its territory.
3. In the car or on the back of a utility or truck. The dog may consider the vehicle to be part of his territory and bite anyone who goes near the vehicle. If the dog
4. is sitting in the car, dont leave the window down far enough for the dog to lunge out and bite someone.
5. When being walked on a leash, some dogs may be protective of their owners and become aggressive towards people or dogs walking by.
6. When the dog is near its owner or the owners children. If someone touched the owner, the dog may think that the person is threatening the owner and bite.
7. When the dog is grabbed or pulled by the collar.
8. When the dog is nervous, or feels cornered and cant run away.
9. When the dog has a bone or toy, or is near its food or bed.
10. At a local park or street where the dog regularly walks and urinates to mark this mark this area as it territory.

Dog Attacks Police Car as Officers Lock Themselves inside
26-MAY-99
BEAVERTON, Oregon (AP) -- You couldn't really blame the two police officers for staying holed-up in their cruiser for over half an hour. After all, would you get out of the car if a Rottweiler was head-butting it and ripping out chunks of tire? That's exactly what was going on in Beaverton, Oregon -- where the officers were investigating complaints of a dog chasing cars and bicyclists.
They found the hundred-pound animal in an angry mood, and decided to let animal control officers come by and get it. In the meantime, the Rottweiler -- named Felony -- flattened three tires on the patrol car.
The dog's owner says it escaped from her home.
