    Such a great story. So sorry to hear of your loss. We also have a Rat Terrier named “Ted”, he and your Ted would have similar stories to tell about encounters with a bull! (I guess it’s just in their blood!) Our little Ted is 12 now, and brings such joy and laughter to our days, we are grateful for each year more we get to enjoy him. Thanks for sharing your story, you will be in our thoughts in your time of loss.

    Thanks!
