As I am now in the land beyond you know my last days were not pleasant. So let me recount some memories of my life on earth to divert focus away from those unpleasant last moments.
The Black Lab Attack
If you are familiar with West Highland Terriers much has been written about their character. Stubborn, loyal, independent and loving but little is mentioned about bravery. West Highland Terriers will fight to the death to protect their human family. It is in our nature.
I have been the subject of four dog attacks. I can give you one example.
I was with Mistress Fotini and Master Andrew walking in one of my favourite Toronto parks called Sherwood Park and it is more of a forest than a park. Heavily shaded by many trees with my absolute favourite off leash trail. Yes a trail not a penned in play area.
Well we were enjoying our walk in the leashed area. I had my leash on. Suddenly an off leash black Labrador with its teeth barred and snarling came charging at us. Master Andrew dropped my leash in shock and I roared into action. A twenty-pound Westie against an eighty-pound dog! Like some medieval jesting contest, we charged each other head on. As I leapt in the air with my jaws aiming for that nasty Labrador’s neck which I intended to rip apart he squealed in terror swerved and took a chunk out of a Sheltie.
That Labrador was owned by thoughtless humans who simply mumbled that they had never seen this before. Yeah sure. They also had their brute off leash in a mandatory leashed area. They failed to apologize.
Master Andrew and Mistress Fotini gave me a hug and said how brave a Westie is. For me just another day as a West Highland Terrier.
Next: Master Robert and I fight off the attack of a mad German Sheppard.
