We've had our greyhound for nearly a year now and she's not shown any aggression at all. This morning she nicked an empty packet of chicken satays and took the packet to her bed. DD (8) decided to take the packet out the bed (it wasn't in the dogs mouth) and as she stood up with the packet the dog barked/growled and lunged at her. She caught the end of her nose, there is a tiny red mark/pin prick on the end of dd's nose where it looks like the skin has just been broken.
My heart tells me the dog was warning her and if she'd really wanted to bite her she would have done. DD is really shaken up but I think now at least she won't approach the dog on her bed. Which we've spoken about before. I've told DD she mustn't take things off the dog but must let me. Again I've told her this before. Hopefully now she will have learnt a lesson.
Am I been too laid back about this? I know DH will want to get rid of the dog if I tell him.
