I once knew a man that had a chow dog. This dog met him everyday at the mail box as he stopped to pick up mail on the way from work. My friend would open his truck door and the dog would jump in his lap. This wonderful scenario played out everyday for 3 years until one day my friend opened the truck door, the dog jumped in his lap and went wild trying to tear his throat out.
For weeks afterward my friend tried to figure out what had set the dog off. What changed?
It came down to one fact... He had started wearing a new cologne that day. After speacking with some experts he confirmed that this was possible, and it can also be triggered by certain colors and other circumstances that we'd never consider as provoking to the animal, but is.
This can happen with any animal, and the reason may not be readily apparent.
