Our dog Arnold was from a rescue centre as have been all the dogs we have had over the years. They have always been kept under control until we knew their personality, and knew they were safe in company. I would never risk my dog or anyone else's dog. Arnold is massive and, if he wasn't such a gentle dog, he could make a mess in a scrap. He was attacked last winter by an alsatian, Arnie was on the lead and the other dog ran at him and bit him on the chest. He shook the other dog off and the owner who was walking it off the lead said sorry, and the legged it with his dog. Arnie had grabbed it by the head to shake it off so they might have had to pay the vets themselves. Serves them right.
