I can't help but imagine the scene of a little toy poodle biting off a nose and running across the yard... Looking all cute and bouncy with a bleeding nose in her mouth while police officers are running behind her...

That's really unusual - and scary

Poodles are well known for being hyper - but the breed is notoriously outgoing and friendly (not at all prone to attack like that).

Makes me wonder what she (or the husband) might have been doing to make the dog bite... :p

Oh Admin! Your're only going to get in trouble when you ask for something like that!



Ok so it's not a poodle. It's one of those toy dogs that bark and then sit down and flip. Plus a nose. By Me.

Oh Nose!
