@kdfrawg He was.
He got a bit scared this morning when we were out. We go to a small park near the farmers’ market & a dog, about his size, raced over. They chased for a bit, but as he slowed down the other one caught up & went for the throat. Not a real attack, but more rough play than B likes, and didn’t want to let go. Luckily the owner turned up and called her dog back. She said he’s half staffie & she generally only lets him play with similar breeds. B is too much of a softie for those street-wise types!
