My dog almost bit?
So, for context, this was a dog friendly event. My service dog Jasper and I were at one of the tables to sign up for the dog costume contest when another person with their dog labeled as a service dog came up. I could tell by the dogs body language that it wasn’t friendly and the owner was allowing it to approach my dog and I was moving mine out of the way.( my dog was also labeled as a service dog) when suddenly, their dog growls and almost bit my dog on the face. My dog moved out of the way as he will never retaliate at other dogs or people. They don’t even apologize for their dogs reaction. Then, as they were turning to leave, their dog lunged at mine, growling. Yet again, their owner did not say anything about their dogs reaction or even try to correct their dog. Could this have been an actual service dog? Possibly but even then, it can not be aggressive and can not distract another service dog. My dog luckily moved out of the way quick enough and avoided being bit by near centimeters. I checked him over once they left and he luckily was not injured nor was he shaken up. He even made a bunch of new friends and if a dog would bark right at his face, he would move away rather than bark back. Overall, I was super proud of him as people were allowing their dogs to approach any and all dogs and two dogs had even gotten off their leashes and ran up to other dogs.
