Well I'm not sure what you mean by all involved should have been more careful? The person walking Lucy, the standard poodle was just walking their dog. I'm not sure what else they could've done? It is not cool that dogs would maul another dog like that. Especially on leash. I was thinking of what I would do if this happened to me. My dog is small and I could pick him up , but that might mean that the two dogs would start mauling me to get to him. Very frightening. I think if you have two large dogs end they are even a little aggressive, you should not walk them at the same time together or have some better way to restrain them to protect others .
We were walking our dog in a grassy area here in the villages and another dog owner with a small cute dog came up to us, said her dog was friendly, and started to chat and at the same time her friendly dog either bit or tried to bite my dog Sue basically was ignoring him. We couldn't be sure if he broke the skin. Of course she said apologized and said wow, he has never done that before. Our dog is super friendly and goes to the dog park on a regular basis and is socialized. Some pet owners are just not responsible.
