Zippy tried to drown a Boxer pup at the dog beach. Zippy was galumphing through the water as a couple brought their puppy to the water and tried to coerce her into the water. The pup was inquisitive but a little timid, just like Zippy when he was younger. Zippy caught site of the pup and went over to play. The 2 of them frolicked on the beach and the pup was pulling submissive moves so Zippy started pulling alpha moves and biting the pup on the neck and ears. He was being gentile and the pup kept coming back for more so I let them play.

Eventually the pup made it into the water and Zippy thought it was play time in the water and pounced on the pup. The pounce pushed poor pup under the water. It was a slow motion moment as I lunged in and grabbed the pup by his collar and yoked him out of the water. He was under water for probably ½ a second but that moment lasted forever.

I held Zippy between my legs and told the pup to take a cheap shot while I had my dog immobilized but the pup just was disinterested. I hope the owners weren’t to outraged by my homicidal dog.
