Reply To: How would you have reacted?

[Michael D'Abruzzo]

This one is hard one because it is hard to get accurate look with the other dog trying to split.   The face of the dog looks like it has squinted eyes and posture looks somewhat submissive and the tail seems low and wide, not the quicker and tighter tail you would see with an attack.

I have to pause and play it over and over to notice this so I can definitely understand how this would look threatening to the officer if he wasn’t expecting such a quick and direct greeting.

The rottie also seems to split when he/she hears the yelling. I think this is mostly an unfortunate incident with a reasonable reaction.
