When we were living in Dallas we would go to the dog park with our Jack Russell quite a bit. It was a nice way to meet people and let the dog play. The dog park is simply a open area with a fence. As you might guess, dog fights were somewhat common. One day there was a man there with a little lap dog of sorts and some bigger dogs came up to all aggressive like and he stepped in the middle and grabbed his dog out of the escalating tension. As he was doing this, all the other dogs were taking notice of the action and were rushing over. So as he is picking up his dog he is knocked down or he falls. It looks like something from the Discovery Channel when a big animal is taken down by a bunch of small animals. He stepped in the middle of this and in the end it came back to hurt him. Its just like the Proverb that warns us of the danger of stepping into the middle of conflict. Proverbs 26:17 Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own.
