We have a dog. A nice, mixed breed, brown dog. She is about 50 pounds, and is a brindle color. We love the dog, she loves us.
But she doesn’t like everyone. And she doesn’t dislike everyone, either. We have a yard with a white picket fence, so passers-by can interact with the dog rather easily. Some people she likes, and will run up and down the fence line with them wagging her tail.
Others, however, she hates. She tries to bite them, she tries to dig out of the fence so that she can get them. It is scary to see. Sometimes we run into these people when we walk her (and we walk very early – usually between 5:30 and 6:00 AM). She hates them then, too. So it is not merely fence aggression.
Why? What does she know that we don’t? Some of the people she hates almost seem normal. (well almost)
Generally, I trust her judgment. She has never hurt anyone either on our property or off. We even had our bikes stolen out of our garage when she was home, outside, and as far as we know, she had no interaction with the thief.
