When a group of strangers nears her, this female German
Shepherd lowers her head and pulls on her leash, trying
to reach the exit gate, her ears turned sideways. She
licks her nose, sniffs the air, then hurtles against her
owner and with mouth closed punches
her in the face with her jaw. The leash gets
caught around her head and the dog lunges forward to
free herself, then again returns to her owner, moving
into a lateral stance with airplane ears. She licks her
muzzle, then walks forward with head down.
