Dogs

Yesterday at my workplace, two people brought their dogs in to work for the first time. They both had small dogs who both seemed friendly and calm. Since there was an explosion of dog at work, and Ethan got off early yesterday, he brought Ludo down for the weekly fiesta.
At first, Ludo didn't know what to make of the little dogs, who all crowded around him. The three he hadn't met ranged from 10 lbs to 30 lbs, and he currently weighs in around 60. After deciding that these little dogs were probably not a threat, and that they weren't very easy to play with, he began running from person to person, saying hello.
As it turns out, one of the small dogs decided it didn't like him at all, and gave him a few nips. Ludo's only prior experience with small, painful injuries inflicted from small, angry animals is with the cats, who happily whack him in the face whenever he gets too close. Much like with the cats, Ludo of course took this as an invitation to (exuberantly) try to make friends, which was obviously not this little dogs desire.
I amused to find that Ludo was so intimidated by such a little dog, and pleasantly surprised that he didn't so much as growl back while being bitten and snarled at.
