Yesterday at the school, Tessa ran into Cindy and proceeded to try and mount her. Not the most accommodating of dogs even on her best days, Cindy jumped up and charged at Tessa's neck, teeth snapping at her fur. Unfortunately, she managed to step on Tessa's leash and prevented her escape, frightening Tessa and making her cry.
She ran not to me, but to Cindy's owner wailing in a high-pitched howl that I'd never heard, breaking in spots like a sobbing child unable to catch their breath. She sat down and dangled her paw limply for inspection, but flinching whenever anyone touched it. The owner hugged her and apologized twice, telling her it's alright. Tessa continued to sob.
As Cindy and the owner decided to take their leave, Tessa watched them go, stood back up and promptly sprinted happily away.
