German Shepherd Dog. The actual full name of the breed.

I just had to stop a little altercation Friday when one of the neighbors dogs tried to get aggressive with DD while she was walking one of our GSD's. Our GSD took offense at the other dog's actions. I drove around the corner just as the fun started and my GSD was beginning to disassemble the other dog for its misbehavior.

Never, NEVER get between the bite-er, and the bite-ee.

Second time in 12 years I have had no choice but to dive into the "flying fur ball" to prevent someone else from being harmed. Having been the decoy for the MP K-9's in the Army, I knew what I was getting into.

I sure have missed the protective bite sleeve both times though.....
