Our little buddy Mapache is the man and I love him. My wife was out this morning walking the dogs in the neighborhood, when an unleashed dog approached. The dog started barking at my wife , pacing around acting interested and aggressive. Mapache was standing in between my wife between the loose animal. As the loose dog got too close, Mapache intervened. In the middle of it he got out of his harness. The loose dog (pitbull) ended up being wrangled by their owner. We are settling medical with all parties. I just want to say how good of a boy and the protective spirit this loveable boy has, and all could wish him a speedy recovery. He went immediately to the vet and is on antibiotics and has tubes due out on Monday. He is resting now in a sweater to prevent scratching himself or his tubes. When he's feeling better I'll get him a hamburger.
