Thread: Disaster at store

Tweet

So, I'm bringing my Great Dane home from town and I
stop by a local feed store. Our boy is still growing and has outgrown
his collar and it's OK to bring your guy into the store as long as he's on
a leash.
No problem....The store owner has been asking me to bring one of our
guys in for months.
Everything is going well and all of the store personal are over petting
our "attention hog" until all of a sudden he spots this 10 ft tall stuffed
bear near the check out stand. This thing is 10 feet plus and has it's
claws and fangs out. It's a pretty impressive display. I've seen it
hundreds of times so, I sorta don't see it.........
Our boy "Abe" sees it and all of his fur stands on end like one of those
Halloween black cats you see every year. He takes about two leaps with
me bouncing along behind and his front paws land right on the chest of
this stuffed Brown Bear.
Since Abe weighs 205 lbs the Bear shudders and over it goes, flat on it's back.
By this time, I've reigned him in with a good scolding as I was pretty
embarrassed and wondering if he did any damaged.
The store owner was laughing and said he was pretty impressed at how
protective he was. I left with instructions to "bring him back anytime".
Still, I don't see how I can take him out in public again because I don't
want to take the risk.
I guess you have to be prepared for anything if you're a responsible pet owner.
