1. I'm with Barney on this one

The guy obviously has no idea how to approach a dog or read its body language. He moved too quickly, reached from the side, didn't allow the dog to smell him and the poor dog registered his move as an attack.

3. FREE BARNEY!!

4. Yeah I agree - I would not approach like that either

and you are right - slow-mo does it with pets.

5. It was clear Barney

didn't want to be petted. While terrier sometimes do give their friends "love bites" in play, Barney's snarl showed this was not the case.

2. You'd be an edgy little pooch if you were a dog owned by such an asshole, too. nt

6. disruptions from moving are hard on pets

He is sensing change and movement and his life is probably being a bit disrupted along with how the guy approached him. I have a Scotty-X rescue and she can get a bit feisty every now and then although has never bitten me.

7. Just give both Bush and Barney a jar of peanut butter.
