He frigging grabbed Opie in a flash and proceeded to try to kill him. I got down on my knees and started to pound the crap out of him, with Mrs. Dr, onzedge kicking the crap out of him. The owner was right behind and started whaling on him to, all the while Opie is screaming at the top of his lungs.
We got him off and took him home where my wife administered first aid to Opie and me. Opie then went to the vet for stiches, x-ray and an overnight stay. He has some nice puncture wounds and a few broken teeth with a fractured jaw. I have some nice bites on my left hand and serious road rash on my knees. I think Opie will be all right, but Jeesh, it happened in a flash.
The owner was simply walking his dog from the back of his house to the front door and feels terrible and is paying all of the bills.
No more walking without one of my Glocks, I swear.
Anyway, hug your dogs today.

Surprises me that a Golden would be that vicious. I'm sorry that happened. Poor Opie!
We just had to put down my mom's lab this weekend. He was 13, truly great dog. His hips and back knees were in horrible shape, and the vets think he had some lung and stomach cancer going on. One of the hardest things I've ever had to do was driving that dog to the vet. He was one of the best dogs I've ever had.
