I have many stories but this is the most recent and the one I think I have to give my dogs a lot credit for.
When I grew up I used to always be around dogs. I play with them and rough house just like them with them. I have no fear of playfights with dogs and have only proven that by video taping while sitting on the ground as all the dogs we normally have over play can chase each other, bite each other, growl and snap at each other. A lot of people think I am crazy but I never have had any fear of dogs in any way. People say I act more like a dog then a human. And I have to agree with them. I am more close to my dogs then I am to most other humans around me.
Anyway on with my Story. Like I said I like to play fight with my dogs. Though I normally do this only in the winter and have layers of protective clothing. My brother had gotten a do at this time who was about 8 or 9 months old and brought her over to let out some energy at my house. I thought it would be a perfect time to get to play with her like I do with the other dogs around me.
It was not long till things got out of control from my stupid act of playing like this with a dog I did not know as well as the others... and there for I soon realized how unpredictable she was from me not knowing her. As soon as I could I tried to stand up or get away from she did not want to stop. She kept at me. I kept knocking her away and once I got her far enough I had time to get onto my toes still crouched down. She jumped right at me before I could move from there. I went forward into her pushing her back from me with my hands but her tooth cough my chin. She went at me again. Still with her happy playful self not realizing I was hurt. I yelped and cried like a dog would hoping she would understand but she paid no attention to that. On the other hand someone else who knew very well what was going on was paying attention to it. I knocked her out of the way about three more times avoiding her playful bites till I fell back from my spot onto my elbows. My brothers dog seeing her chance to win this jumped at me again but before she got to me Shalun had seem to come out of no where and sent her totally off balance and tumbling to the ground. With her extreme amount of energy she was right at Shalun playing with him. Before I could still make any moves Shenuk who is a little on the slow side came up and stood in-between the playfight and me and growled and barked at them if they came near he would (using his large amount of fat) Push them out of the way growling. I turned and made a mad dash for the dog house which I climbed up on and leaned agents our house. Just after that Shenuk let the light go and Shalun did the same getting up on the dog house with me. My Bothers dog made a running leap but only got her front paws up there. Shalun snapped at her angrily and Shenuk took her down.
All seemed to go quiet now as she began to realize the play was over. Shenuk remained on the ground as he is unable to make it put on the dog house and Shalun stayed right by my side.
I never seem to have thought Shalun would know I was in trouble and protect me from another dog. I know he would if a parson was after me but it only proved to me that he was smarter then I actually thought he was. And for Shenuk to have also protected me was also amazing to me as Shenuk... well he does not have all the lights on upstairs if you know what I mean. I ended up getting out of that with a cut on my chin. Probably could have ended up having stitches but I could not do that as she would have a biting record then and it was not her fault. I totally take the responsibility for that. Just Glad I had two smart dogs to help get me out of the mess I got myself into, or I might have been killed or badly mauled.
Though I still have no fear of being close to dogs play fighting. I know very well that it is only because I know the dogs so well that I am with I can tell when they are ticked off or if something is about to start.
