Re: Animals can do aikido too !!!!!

I once had a Newfoundland dog, an unbelievably gentle creature. A Border Collie once attacked him, leaping up at his throat. The Newfie caught him on the rise with one paw, and executed an ikkyo-type move that landed the Border Collie on his back, with my dog's paw pinning him by the neck. He just stood there for a moment, growling softly, to give the Collie time to think things through, then let him up.
Yours,
Brion Toss
