She Allowed Her Dog To Attack Her Fiancé After They Got Into An Argument, And He Raised A Hand At Her
This 23-year-old woman and her fiancé, who is 29, have been together for two years now and engaged for four months. She’s also had her dog, a Doberman named Cookie, ever since she was 19-years-old.
The reason why she named her pup Cookie is because, according to her, she’s the sweetest dog ever.
“But people are sometimes scared of Cookie just because of how big she is and the stigma that ‘scary’ dogs get,” she explained.
“Because of this, she is trained extremely well.”
Cookie knows call and release words for practically anything, including food, walking, and barking. She claimed that her dog has never acted out, either, or bitten anyone before.
Well, that was until just yesterday, when she and her fiancé got into a big fight.
“It was over something so stupid and so petty, but we ended up standing up during the argument,” she recalled.
At the same time, her dog got up and stood beside her. This pushed her fiancé to start yelling at Cookie to lie down. But her dog didn’t listen, and her fiancé told her to make her dog lie down, and she refused to do that, too.
Afterward, her fiancé actually grabbed her by the arms and pushed her into the living room. Then, he tried to slam their bedroom door on Cookie – essentially locking her pup in another room.

However, while her fiancé was screaming in her face, her dog wouldn’t let him shut the door. And as soon as her fiancé raised one of his hands out of anger, she allowed her dog to bite him.
“Like Cookie is trained to do,” she said.
“She grabbed his forearm and tore, a lot worse than I expected her to do. I called her off after only a second and told him to leave, or I’d do it again.”
Her fiancé fled the scene after that and wound up going to the hospital to get stitches. He also sent her photos of his arm and threatened to call both animal control and the police.
Additionally, her fiancé swore that he never intended to hit her. But, to her, that’s what it looked and felt like was going to happen.
Still, she really isn’t sure if allowing her dog to attack her fiancé in that scenario was justified or not.
“I mean, that’s what I originally got my dog for – protection. I love her so much, and I am just scared now,” she vented.
Do you think Cookie did a good thing by protecting her, or was she in the wrong for allowing her dog to attack? How would you have handled this scary situation?
