Zeke and Something weird.

[melonie]

I haven't talked about Zeke much lately, but he is still around. He is still the biggest character ever.
He is very attention motivated. He is more people sensitive than even Winston. But he is not annoying or whiny or neurotic about it.
He enjoys children, gets along well with other dogs... plays a bit rough and tumble, but we've never seen him escalate or anything like that.
He is smart, learns fast and uses what he learns to get attention.
He has never shown any signs of aggression to a person or an animal.... But the other day a lady came out to look at a small dog we had up for adoption.
Zeke was on a tie out, nothing unusual. He's used to people coming and going. As Judy and this lady walked past him he reached out and caught the ladies wrist in his mouth, and wouldn't let go. He was not biting to hurt, he wasn't growling. Yet he was also not his friendly wiggle butt fun self.
Yet he was not going to just let go. Judy did get him to let go, the lady wasn't upset or anything. (thankfully)
She did want to adopt the little dog, so Judy had her fill out an application. etc etc. Judy didn't bother checking references, her mind was made up. She wasn't going to adopt to this lady.

For whatever reason, Zeke did not like her. It was profound enough to Judy that he made up her mind for her.

I trust Zeke and so I to think it was his way of trying to tell Judy that something wasn't right with the lady. Thats the only thing I can think of why he would do this.

I just seriously hope it never happens again.

That is strange. Benny would sometimes meet strangers that he didn't like. He never bit, but I could always tell he didn't like them. He stiffened, his eyes widened and he would sometimes growl, bark or even lunge at people for seemingly no reason. Usually it was because the person approached to quickly or in a threatening manner, but the reasons weren't always apparent to us humans.

Unclear what happened here. Does not necessarily sound like an aggressive act, Perhaps a defensive or protective act by the dog. Perhaps a misguided attempt at play.
i would not assume that there was something wrong with the woman, save a lack of understanding on how to approach a strange dog on a tie out.
