Bruce the Golden wonder boy bit a lot of Sultan's ear off yesterday, May 15, about a fifth to a quarter. I heard that sultan trapped Bruce in a corner by the front gate against the hedges, and... well... young Bruce , I guess, defended himself. Sultan was running free which he doesn't usually do - but did have his muzzle on. I have found that ear bites are almost always accidental, panicky: from the ears especially large one's like Sultan's flopping around as the dogs gnash teeth at each other. Bruce is NOT a dog to go around biting. Poor Sultan.
