I always thought of that expression as a way of saying something negative about a negative person. I never associated it with a real dog.
Recently I was placed in the precarious position of deciding whether to keep one of my guard dogs or have her put down. She has decided to challenge the other dogs for alpa female of the pack, however she decided to include me in the pack. Now I treasure my dogs! They have protected me on several occasions from bodily and while they are large and powerful they have always been gentle and loving toward me.
The terrible dog fight followed the night I found a rattle snake in my kitchen and I just wasn't prepared for any more stress. The offending dog aggresssivly damaged the larger dog while the larger dog never broke skin on her. My initial reaction after treating the injuries and the multiple vet trips was to put her down. I had to wait three days to do this and suddenly I thought no I WILL retrain her and keep her. A wonderful friend saved the day by sending me a tremendous e-book on training an aggressive dog; and I must say after continued steady work we have SUCCESS!
I feel so blessed to have had the delay that led to my decision to retrain my dog and a friend who took the time to send me the information that helped guide me through the tough spots.
So today I can say yes every dog does have her day and if they are lucky an owner who sees.
