If that dog had a toy or food or something he was chewing on, he might think he has to defend it. He maybe was just telling your dog that , this is my space and my people, so don't bother them. <br>Just because a dog growls doesn't mean they are mean. <br>If the dog doesn't go to work everyday like yours, this is very exciting and they don't know quit where they fit in. <br>Was the owner at the dest? If the dog was by himself he may have been frightened of being alone, and then another dog he doesn't know comes by and he gets nervous . <br><br>Talk to the owner, and if the dogs will be crossing paths, maybe you two should let the dogs meet each other. <br>Barb<br><br>Sent from Xfinity Connect Mobile App<br><br><br>------ Original Message ------<br><br>From: Nicole Torcolini via nagdu<br>To: sofiagallo13@gmail.com, 'NAGDU Mailing List, the National Association of Guide Dog Users', clarebearwest@gmail.com<br>Sent: August 22, 2014 at 9:54 PM<br>Subject: [nagdu] Rules Regarding Pet Dogs was RE: New Jersey Laws regarding guide dogs being attacked<br><br>Sofia,<br><br> Are there any rules about pet dogs?

Tonight I was out on a walk with Quincy and for the third time<br>in a week someone's rot Wiler got loose. But this time the dog charged<br>Quincy and attacked him. The Dragos are knocked my mom over. We called the<br>police and they came out and spoke with us. They also spoke with the dogs<br>owners. We have 30 days to file a complaint. I will definitely do that. I<br>was wondering if New Jersey has any laws regarding service dogs being<br>attacked. The reason the dogs keep getting Moose is because their owner does<br>not fix their fence. Instead, they just temporarily try to prevent the dogs<br>from escaping. The police told them they must get their fence fixed. So<br>hopefully they will. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. By the way,<br>when she was not injured in anyway. I did call the school to let the<br>director know what has occurred. I am hoping that Quincy will not be<br>skittish around other dogs! I am sure the director will call me on Monday<br>morning. Thank you all for your support and help.<br><br>Sent from my iPhone<br>_______________________________________________<br>nagdu mailing list<br>nagdu@nfbnet.org<br>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nagdu_nfbnet.org<br>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for nagdu:<br>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nagdu_nfbnet.org/sofiagallo13%40gmail.com<br>_______________________________________________<br>nagdu mailing list<br>nagdu@nfbnet.org<br>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nagdu_nfbnet.org<br>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for nagdu:<br>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nagdu_nfbnet.org/ntorcolini%40wavecable.co<br>m<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>nagdu mailing list<br>nagdu@nfbnet.org<br>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nagdu_nfbnet.org<br>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for nagdu:<br>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nagdu_nfbnet.org/barbandzoe%40comcast.net<br></font></body></html>
