Yeah good eye! she's had a mast cell tumor on her side removed, a couple random bumps, and two CCL surgeries. She's thirteen. It's my wife's dog and is now attached to my hip. My wife rescued her as a pup from a guy that beat his next dog to death. He also had a bigger pitbull that beat up on ours when she was young.
According to my wife our dog is great with small dogs and children but can freak out on bigger dogs. I haven't seen any of this though. We keep her separated from potentially dangerous situations because of her breed, peoples attitudes, and how she was abused.
She's normally very passive. My wife had a home invader kick in her door once and the dog hid in the closet. Once she did get loose and ran down the driveway to greet a young shiba, by the time I caught her she was super calm and mostly interested in smelling the shibas butt more than anything else. On a normal day she's just trying to cuddle as close to me as she can. I've never personally seen her be violent in the 7 years I've known the dog, but we don't take her in dangerous situations just in case.
I'm going to be inconsolable when she dies.
