That's dreadful, I feel so sorry for the poor woman and her dog... she must have been terrified, not really knowing what was happening. But it could have been so much worse if she had fallen down and the dog had latched on to her

Personally I'm wary of these type of dogs, and can't understand why anyone would want one. Wasn't there a recent thread about extremely conditioned dogs, and much ooohing and
