Discussion: "My dog"...

...doesn't normally bite small children; it usually goes for toddlers.
...doesn't usually bark at people; I tend to have it muzzled.
...has never attacked a stranger; it's always been locked behind a gate until today.
...doesn't chase people; I have it on a lead other than for right now.

Glad to hear that Nicole did not get skittled. BTW was the dog OK ?

The dog seemed fine, not that either of us care too much.

Importantly, the bike was OK.
