What’s the best way to break up a dog fight at the dog park?

There was an incident this evening not involving my dog but some others. I immediately yelled grab them by the back of the legs and pull them apart. This seemed to work but one of the human handlers of the aggressive dog didn’t listen and got bit.

I know dog parks can be a polarizing subject for some owners but just wondering if anyone else has any tips.

FYI - I don’t think either of the dogs got hurt

Do yall ever give your dogs "passes" for behavior you might not like but they seem to enjoy?

I have a 1 1/2 year old Great Pyrenees mix. I call him my 98.6% good boy. He has great temperament, doesn’t pull on walks and is just overall a really good and well behaved dog so far by nature. (I didn’t know they made them at the factory like this lol)

But as a sit and watch him in the yard right now, he’s doing what GPs love to do. They kinda dig their own spots and just kinda like to gaurd the yard and he’s content. I personally have been trying to get him to lay on a raised dog bed because I feel like fleas or allergens are getting to him but he ain’t about the raised dog bed life.

I dunno just rambling 🤷 it might be something we continue to work on or I might let him have a pass since he seems to enjoy it. But I should mention that he does sleep with me and likes to burrow under the covers, which is another thing I’m trying to dissuade but sometimes when I’m in deep sleep he wiggles his way in and get away with it.

Do any of you give your dogs similar “passes”?

What does everyone think of candidate Arturo Espinosa(R) running for governor in the primary?

I was reading about candidates in the League of Women Voters pamphlet, and this candidate stood out to me as a little odd. These are some of his answers to questions in the guide:

_Qualifications: The true statement begins with either verb Qualifications: The true statement begins with either verb intransitive or verb transitive in the present tense. Am Father Arturo Espinosa Professional Chemical Engineer (CH 5954). Am a truthful man: Am homosexual

Healthcare: Equate English adjective true to Greek adjective αληθής. Change, and define the Greek word αληθής: Utter the truth to each woman and to each man at every site. Ask the doctor to be one hundred percent truthful in every part of the pregnancy to ensure every woman has safe medical care._

He also has some weird video rants on Facebook I found.

r/politics and The Daily Beast

Just an observation but I feel within the past year, that sub is dominated by links from the daily beast.

I know Reddit is kinda trash at this point but I still occasionally browse but I absolutely cannot stand that rag of a media website. Their headlines are attention grabbing clickbait IMO.

Just curious if anyone else has noticed. I haven’t crunched any numbers or anything because I don’t really even give that much of a crap.
