We went on our daily walk through the woods the other day and I had him on an extended leash and all of a sudden this guy came running from out of nowhere (he was just out for a run but we didn't see him) he scared the bejebus out of both of us. Well he kept running at us so Teddy kept trying to cut him off. I told the guy I was sorry and that I didn't see him to just give me a second to get teddy under control. He wouldn't listen he kept trying to run around Teddy and Teddy just kept trying to cut him off and not let him close to me. I AGAIN told the guy to just stop and wait a moment until I got Teddy back but he wouldn't listen, He just kept coming at us. Teddy was determined to not let this guy around him and get to me but the guy would not listen so finally he kinda of deked around Teddy and was coming straight at me and when teddy regained his footing (and the guy was two feet away from me) he jumped and reached for the guys arm and grabbed onto his sweater and tried to restrain him. So I grabbed Teddy and I apologized to the guy for what teddy did but told him that he scared the h ell out of us and Teddy was probably trying to protect me (he has been pretty protective now that my husband isn't here) The guy said it was ok that teddy didn't bite him just got his sweater and he said that he should have stopped when I asked him to. I was shaking after that ordeal. First the guy scared me then I was scared that Teddy bit him.
However, I am so proud of Teddy. I now definately feel safe and confident that if someone were trying to hurt me that Teddy would come to my rescue.
