I kind of had the idea, hence "lucky dog", but either way you scored! I pulled a similar trick on a buddy of mine after a rottwieler killed our poodle. I called him and told him that we just got another dog, and that anything short of a rottwieler would not even be a snack for it. He kept guessing all of the largest breeds, and even mentioned lion, but I told him he had to see it to believe it. He come over with a rawhide chew toy 2 feet long for the new dog, and I had my wife unleash this animal from the back bedroom. Out comes a toy poodle weighing in ounces, not pounds! I really threw him a curve.
