Today at the SPCA I walked 3 dogs: Duchess, Brandy and Bobo. Sort of.

I've walked Bobo before with no problem, but today he started barking aggressively at the dogs in the kennels next door. He was in "drive" and when he saw my hand move above him he lunged as if to bite me. He's a big dog and strong. I decided that it would be a bad idea for me to walk him further. The choice was to go back to his kennel through a corridor with dogs barking on both sides, or out past a dog run with dogs barking there too. Both bad choices. I found a spot where he couldn't see any dogs, and distracted him with treats till the kennel manager came past. I asked him for help, and he put Bobo back in his kennel for me.

That felt bad. But if Bobo bit me, that would have severe consequences for him.

Instead, I walked Duchess, a bouncy big-eared sweetheart who enjoys catching treats out of the air, and little Brandy, who is being adopted soon. So that's good news.
