Flight

A dog runs quickly away from another dog. This behaviour differs from avoidance in that it is exhibited at a fast trot or gallop, rather than at a walk or slow trot, and may include an attempt to seek refuge and to find a place to hide or feel safe.

This mixed breed male is sitting near the exit gate, swallowing and panting, ears pinned back. A male German Shepherd approaches, at first with head lowered. He then moves closer with head raised and a slightly indirect curve, exhibiting tongue flicking and an offensive facial display. The German Shepherd licks his nose and walks stiffly towards the mixed breed dog's shoulder. The black male whines and flees, licking his nose, then stops and stands still, panting.
