Today Colin was walking India and Chocolate and two labrador retrievers attacked them. Chocolate was bitten in the neck area before Colin could stop it from happening. She yelped once when it happened, then yelped again when a neighbor lady tried to comfort her. This happened in our neighborhood at 5:30 this evening. The owners of the dogs were no help in getting the dogs away from our cavaliers; in fact it was one neighbor lady who was brave enough to step in and help Colin.
Other neighbors who witnessed it said this has happened before to people walking dogs.
That's it, we called the police. They sent 3 cruisers over, one was a canine patrol officer. They took Colin's report and then spoke to the owner of one of the labs - the one that bit Chocolate. The dog has all its vaccinations up to date, and the guy was told he has to have his dog on a leash from now on - he told them he went out and bought a leash today after his dog bit ours. [Can you IMAGINE not owning a leash for your dog?!] The other dog owner wasn't home; we're hearing that his labrador frequently gets out of its invisible fence.
We have both checked Chocolate over, and she seems to be fine. I can't find any sore spot or mark. We'll take her to the vet on Monday. The police said we should take her to the vet to be checked.
Isn't this something - so many members have experienced this type of problem. It is SO frightening when it happens.
