When a group of strangers nears her, this female German Shepherd lowers her head and pulls on her leash, trying to reach the exit gate, her ears turned sideways. She licks her nose, sniffs the air, then hurtles against her owner and with mouth closed punches her in the face with her jaw. The leash gets caught around her head and the dog lunges forward to free herself, then again returns to her owner, moving into a lateral stance with airplane ears. She licks her muzzle, then walks forward with head down.
