Posted by: "Lauren Hawley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am so mad and upset right now. I was taking Tonka and Zena for a walk in a field near my house. To get to this field, you have to pass a house that has a Pit Bull. I waited to cross to that side of the street until I was passed this house and continued on into the field. All of the sudden this Pit Bull comes running around the corner and attacks Zena, who was only 1 foot behind me sniffing something. Tonka was in front at the end of his flexi and he hears the attack and come running at this Pit Bull at full speed, slams into it and stands over it biting it and making these horrible snarling/growling noises. The Pit Bull must have gotten scared because it started to try to get way when it's owner comes running around the corner calling it. It runs to it owner while I went the other way and didn't wait to see if the owner would say anything. I just wanted to get away from there! Tonka and Zena seem none the worse for wear but I have this huge brush burn on my left forearm from one of the leashes and I can't seem to calm myself down. I keep thinking about what could have happened and that makes me start to cry. I am so upset -- not only by that but the fact that I seem to be the only one in my area that keeps their dogs under control. Why do I always have to be the one to watch out for my dog and make sure they don't hurt anyone when everyone else lets their dogs attack mine? Something similar happened in the same area about 2 years ago but it was a Beagle that attacked Tonka. He now doesn't like smaller dogs at all. Its not his fault but it and I can't blame him. I not liking little dogs right now either. Sorry to vent but I didn't know where else to turn. Kevin is at school and won't be home for another 3 hours. All I can say is that I am proud of Tonka, not only did he save his sister but he also didn't give me a hard time about leaving. I love them both with all my heart and I would have been devastated if anything happened to either of them. Lauren Tonka (Mom, why do other dogs always attack me?)
