My dog won't bite. But when somebody comes up to the house he growls and barks like he'll tear your leg off.
Pffft! It’s a lab.
Some Years ago, while riding my bicycle though rural Methburg MO on my way to NY, I was accosted by the meanest lab I have yet encountered. Had me cornered, circling around, me keeping the bike between us.
A guy comes out and tries to call off the dog, no luck, he explains that it’s his daughter’s dog, it doesn’t listen and it’s a PITA. Finally, in frustration, he picks up a softball sized rock and whips it at the dog, a fastball, misses the dogs head by just a couple of inches.
The lab stops, looks at him, looks at the rock, and then brings it back to him
