Orangeous Dailies

When two dogs meet for the first time, unleashed, all hell can break loose.

The moment the house door was opened, Carlos dashed out to the corridor. The lift door opened. Our neighbour walked out of the lift together with her Labrador-sized mix breed. Carlos dashed towards the mix breed and attempted to play with it.

The mix breed thought Carlos was trying to attack them, so it bit Carlos on the ear. The neighbour tried in vain to stop her dog but failed. Carlos, in a state of panic, tried to hide under the mix breed and was bitten again on the shoulder. Mum quickly stepped in and carried Carlos away.

Michelle and Mum rushed Carlos to the vet.

Lost a bit of his ear.

Two deep puncture wounds on the shoulder.

Thankfully he did not sustain fatal injuries because the mix breed was almost 4 times his size and weight (close to 40kg).

No one should be blamed for this :

i. Carlos dashed out on his own will.

ii. The mix breed was only trying to protect itself and the owner.

iii. We both did not leash our dogs.

Our neighbour was kind enough to leave a post-it note on our door. She apologized for the incident this morning and offered to pay for the vet’s bill. Dad went over to let her know that it wasn’t necessary. It was also our fault as well.
