Let’s start with the “Ouches” part of this post. We know a crazy little terrier that lives near us who has been picking on Shio since he was 4 months old. When they see each other, things will go great for about 5 seconds and then the little terrier will lunge for Shio and a…

I saw that and was wondering about that too..
After Week 1 if the fight in the Union Square dog run, it looks like Shio’s bite is healing nicely. A speedy recovery is in order! Tweet This Post

Oh no!
Poor pooch.
It’s good that Shio has someone great to teach him right from wrong! It looks like the terrier should have someone who does the same for him
Get well soon, Shio’s mom!

Dude. Hope you’re okay!
Wow – so what did the owner of the terrier have to say about the fact that his/her dog bit a human and attacked another dog? Here in SF there would probably be a police report whether or not you asked for it. It is too sensitive of an issue these days.
And Shio… adorable that he’s guarding you. That is just so awesome. Zuko just got hugs (he hates them) for being my little guy. I have no doubt he’d take care of me if I needed it.
Was the terrier off-leash?
Oh Ting, I am so sorry that you and Shio have had to put up with this terrier. I hope you recover easily. It’s very sweet of Shio to sleep with you (in a bed! and we know how he hates beds!) and to guard you, but I wish the terrier would move away! Hope you heal quickly. Love you, Shio. M.
aww, the “loves” portion of this story is really touching.
That’s really sweet how Shio sensed you needed tlc, especially since he never goes into your bed.
–Off to hug my pup Niko!
Thanks for the well wishes everyone!
The owner is sincerely apologetic and has always made the effort to keep the two of them apart when we bump into each other. I don’t wish that they would move away as much as I wish that we could figure out why the little guy hates Shio! Then we could work on solving the issue and we could all be happy friends.
Shio is my little hero in so many ways.
I on the other hand would have filed a report given the dog’s history of attacking people.
Owners and dogs like that give all of us a bad name.
I have to agree with JML. It isn’t the dog’s fault, it is the owners fault. The owner would be smart to invest in a trainer to help before things get out of hand and someone marks the dog as vicious and dangerous.
I mentioned this story to a friend here in the bay area and she was saying the hospitals here have to report dog bites to the humane society no matter what. We’d have a rash of really bad attacks in the bay area (a 2 year old killed, several people mauled) this summer and this kinds of things hurt all of us.
That is terrible! I hate that happened to your arm! Shio is so sweet to stay by you and sleep with you. I love those rare shiba moments when they aren’t so independent! Wish our shibas could be play mates!
i hope someday our shiba will show us that side of him (the protective side). that is so sweet.
feel better. Lucas did the same thing when i was sickkk! <3
