Tuffy's revenge...

We volunterred for a dog rescue transport on Saturday. We were to be meeting the previous driver here then pass the dog off to the next driver up near Columbus. We were very excited to be helping this cute dog get out of a shelter and into a loving foster home. Here is Tuffy...then it went something like this (refer to photo on top). The other driver and I were talking and Mau walked up but did the smart thing, paused to tie his shoe, showing the dog he was calm. Tuffy wasn't having it. He lunged and bit Mau with no warning growl or bark. Unfortunately that was the deal-breaker. The other driver thought it best for her to take our leg of the trip for safety reasons. Mau is not angry, he understands the stress the dog has been under and we think he was protecting the women and was possibly abused by a man. The happy ending is that Tuffy made it to his temporary home safely and is relaxed now. We will try again next time.
