Lucky volunteered to be the chew toy for a police dog demonstration held in Ridgefield a few months ago, (I brought the digi-cam... The video was priceless!) as he usually does when Zeus is showing off his prowess.Lucky put on the bite sleeve, the squeak toy shirt and the scratch pants to play "bad guy". (Tee hee hee!)
Out comes ZEUS...
95 pounds of fur, muscle and teeth. "Officer Shawn", Zeus' handler, gave Zeus the signal after Lucky started running (or at least tried to run in the bulky gear). HOLY SHIT is that dog FAST! Lucky turned around in time to present Zeus with the bite sleeve arm. Lucky got taken THE FUCK OUT and brought to the ground! It was awesome. At one point I was laughing so hard the camera was jiggling. On the second go around, Lucky literally picked Zeus up off the ground and swung him around while he was latched onto the bite sleeve. That dog did not let go. He was all, "WHEEEEEEEE! This is FUN! AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN!" Goes to show you, you do NOT want to mess with Zeus! Shawn gave the release command when Lucky started to cry like a little girl.
Turns out though, this bite sleeve didn't have the PVC insert. Just some heavy canvas and padding. It protected Lucky from the sharpness of the teeth, but not the pressure of the bite. Once I saw the boo boo, I understood why he was simpering like a pansy... Just a little bit. I still called him a pansy though.Afterwards, Lucky and Zeus made nice and all was well. Lucky only cried a little bit about his boo boo that night.
