| - DOGGIE CAME BACK WITH TWO SCARS ON HIS FACE
UPDATE: it was confirmed to me by the daycare center (at least thanks for the honesty, I guess...) that my 8-pound beagle was bitten by a 45-pound dog. How does this make sense?? I mean, if you don't KNOW for sure that the 45-pound dog is good with puppies, then how do you not expect that this wouldn't end well??
On his first day, Bobo came home tired, but one big drawback is that they forgot to tell us to bring the food for him, so he was starving.
On his second day today, my puppy came home bitten by a bigger dog "because it was a slow day, so after he got bitten, he was alone for the rest of the day." He has two scars on his face (I'll try to post the pictures), and he acts very frightened and skittish. I've worked with him patiently on desensitization for a month (i. e. if I touched his tail and played with it, he didn't mind it at all; now that's all undone; he left this morning a happy puppy, and came back skittish, growling at me and scared.)
I let him play with older dogs from the building, and there was never a problem, so the daycare should know which dog is capable of playing with a smaller dog and which dog will show aggression. I feel like I paid for them to undo the work that I did with him. If there are no smaller or gentler dogs for him to play with, then either we should have been warned, or he should have had a human devote some time to him.
