"Brutal" Dog Attack







Okay so it wasn't really brutal since I had a bite sleeve on, but it was still very frightening! My brother, Jason, came and talked to Zac's Cub Scouts den about law enforcement. Of course he volunteered me to show the boys how his dog attacks bad guys and of course I said NO WAY! Jason would be the first person I would want to have around in a real emergency, say I was drowning or something, but letting his dog bite me is a different story. Finally another mom said she would do it, but her two year old really got worried and kept trying to get to her, so I finally gave in. I am so grateful Onyx stuck with the bite sleeve and didn't take a chunk out of my leg. This was not an activity I would like to do again. Zac thought it was great showing off his Uncle Jason to all his friends with his cool dog Onyx and his police car. And of course his super brave mom! Just another one of those things we do out of love that know one ever told us we would have to do!

Jason did a great job. The boys all thought it was awesome. I think we now have 11 Scouts that are considering future careers in law enforcement. He even let one boy call 911 dispatch to report a fictitious emergency. Eight year old Jacob did a great job! If you see a very large and tall man, with long hair, a beard, pointing ears and red hair going around banging on door with a 16 inch knife in his hand you too should call 911!
