Maggie is Racially Biased - SAY What?!

When I was working from home Maggie would go to Doggie daycare so there would be NO barking (her alias is Mouth of the South - per the groomer, daycare workers and the Vet - lol). She loves going to visit her playmates (seriously) and the staff. Since I am unable to work she only goes a couple of times a month. They picked her up last week for a play date - about 2 hours later the phone rang, it was Dara one of the staff members. She was very apologetic and stated Maggie needed to return home because of "bullying"! As it turns out Maggie is the ring leader of a pack of small predominately white dogs who had singled out a black poodle mix to harass. The owner happened to see the pack chasing her dog away from the water and boxing it into a corner on more than one occasion! WHAT the H - I thought dogs were color blind??? Grace is the poodle mix's name and she only weighs 6 lbs - maybe that's the problem - they don't know Grace is a dog? (how mean - lol). It seems Grace's owner wanted Maggie ousted and would like to meet "with her Mother" - GREAT. They explained that I am unable to drive so she agreed to talk with me on the phone -she proceeds to insult my Maggie - "your dog is poorly trained, obviously unmanageable and bigoted and I want her removed right away" -Are YOU KIDDING me Lady - geesh. In response I did apologize but told her that perhaps Grace was too small to be around REAL dogs - which went over VERY well and she left daycare never to return! (she also stiffed them for 2 weeks of daycare) It turns out that Maggie is still profiling black dogs by barking at them and not allowing them to play in any Reindeer - oops Doggie games. Recently, she almost got eaten by a BIG BLACK DOBERMAN mix - maybe just maybe she'll change her behavior.
