This is no game. Ralphy boy is probably still out there hunting with the best of the coyotes. I'll tell you another dog story that happened to me. Anyways, I approached this dog and started talking to him and slowly moving closer. The dog stood up wagged his tail and appeared happy to see me.
Most dogs are fine and have a sore foot for a couple of days, then their back to normal.
Not this dog he lured me in with his friendly attitude until he thought I was in striking distance, then turned into attack mode. Lucky, I was prepared for the reaction and quickly jumped back. I never will forget that lighting fast change and the snarling teeth just missing my hand. The dog misjudged his strike range, if I had been a little closer this would be a different story. So I walk back to truck, found the farmer and told him I caught his dog.
