My dog used to play with me like that. She'd wrap her jaws around my fist and gnaw (never bearing down), or snap her teeth at my ear (without actually biting it), or pretend to bite my head, or "mouth" my arm (same thing she did with my fist). I called it wrestling. I'd nibble her ear or growl at her and we'd roll around the floor, or chase each other around the house. That was a big dog though. Half German Shepherd, 1/4 Rottweiler, 1/4 Shetland Sheepdog. Basically she was a bushy-tailed shepherd with orange doberman eyebrows.

Can't very well hold you with hands they don't have. Loved wrestling with big dogs.

It's not a Villages dog park. It is a Wildwood community dog park, called Bark Park. There are many Villagers who bring their dogs there, and we have a friendly community and do things outside of going to the park (dinners, concerts, etc.).
You may have read that there was an assault that happened there Saturday morning. The young man, from the village of Charlotte, was arrested. I've been going to that park for years, but this is the first I've heard of anything bad happening. Plus, before anyone comes down on Wildwood, I remind that this man is a Villager. A young man, I believe. You can look it up on the site that cannot be named here.

Some of the TV dog parks close for maintenance, mostly for a week, and we get more activity at Bark Park due to that. Our park is maintained twice per week from 9-11 am, so we don't get the closures that the TV parks get. But we do get an influx of new dogs when a TV park closes, who are not used to our dogs, nor ours to them. Mostly that all works out because most people have socialized their dogs.

It must have been late on Saturday morning? I think I was there until at least 9:30 or so.

I don't know because I don't go in the morning, but it was published in that online news site. villages dash news dot com. It was a couple's dog and the young man's dog who apparently "got into a fight." Very odd thing to happen. Dogs occasionally get into a "kerfuffle," but it's not serious and is broken up by the owners. The man's picture was on the site, so you might remember seeing him.

It turns out, I left before he got there. I just heard the whole story. Thank you.
