Elaine came with Rosie and me to the park today, and we were having a jolly old time until the very end, when Rosie went up to a Shiba Inu. He barked at her once, she backed off, then when she came up again he lunged and went for her neck. She started screaming, other dogs came running, and I panicked. I completely forgot how to break up a dog fight. The Shiba Inu's owner was hitting her dog on the head with a water bottle.
After this went on for way too long, Rosie got away. I scooped her up, and she was whimpering, so I ran her away from the melee. The Shiba's owner leashed her dog and left without giving me her phone number, that jerk. Elaine and I checked Rosie from head to toe, and she showed a slight favouring of one paw, but there was no broken skin. Several people came over to see how she was, but she was still very scared. We walked very very slowly back to the car.
