My first time at taking my dog to a dog park and in a foreign country was pretty scary for me. My dog is disciplined, but most times, if another dogs comes into site my dog can go crazy. So, I didn’t know if other dog would go as crazy as my dog. But, I went anyway and hoped for the best. When I arrived, I let my dog off his leash and he took off running happy as a dog off a leash can be. The Mumbai Bombay Hotel where I’m staying told me where to find this dog park. I take me dog everywhere I go; it’s a hassle because he’s a large and he’s an Akita, but I can’t be without him.
I’ve already lost site of him, so I go looking for him and I see him romping round with another dog that is the size of a breadbox. As I approach, I see the owner of the small dog look totally petrified, but not taking any action to separate the two. They appeared to be getting along very well. I walk over to the owner of the small dog and ask if they would like me to stop my dog from playing with there dog. She told me that it’s okay, but her face said how dare I bring a behemoth to the dog park. Akita’s aren’t that big, but compared to her dog, a Lhasa-Apso, then yes my dog is huge. Surely, she must run into other big dogs here. I look around and see only lap-dogs.
Then I heard the all too familiar yipe of a dog being bit. At first, I’m sure if was my dog doing the biting, but it was the Lhasa-apso biting my dog and trying to rip my dogs floppy lips right off of him. I take action to separate the two, but the Lhasa-apso wouldn’t let go. I looked over at it’s owner and she just stood there with a look of satisfaction on her face. I yelled at her to command her dog to stop and she finally did. I took my dog as far away from her and her dog and began to check the damage done to my dog. There was no blood and i found two puncture wounds. My dog was whining in pain, but he was okay. I put his leash on and proceeded to head back to the hotel. I think I’ll stick with regular parks stay away from Bite Parks.
