Barney bites reporter (from youtube)

Watch as the reporter approaches. Barney stiffens his shoulders turning away and avoiding the reporter who was squatting down facing him. Barney chose to NOT face the reporter but staff positioned him to face the reporter and this was the final straw. Listen as the staff did not appear surprised that he bit. Then they tell the reporter that you can't put your hand in his face.
Now....what if Barney were a rottweiler? A pit mix? A german shepherd? What then? Due to the fact that Barney is a small dog...this is taken as a joke. All dogs should be respected and all people need to observe them for signs if they want interaction or not. Barney...clearly did not.
