Britney Is Not Scared Of Dogs, Despite Being Attacked By Two!
In March 2022, Britney took to Instagram to reveal that she adopted a blue-eyed Australian Shepherd puppy while she was on vacation in Maui. Britney began her post by writing, “Thank you for dogs !!! Dog spelled backwards is God … not sure any correlation but I do think that dogs are extraordinary animals !!!”
“Although I’ve been attacked by 2 dogs in my life … I am still drawn to them !!!” she confessed. “The dogs that attacked me weren’t big dogs, one a cocker spaniel and the other I’m not sure of the breed … the cocker spaniel literally out of nowhere just scratched, bit and barked until I had to get on the hood of a car and crawl up backwards on my back !!!”

She continued, “I didn’t go to the hospital … I just remember being in the tub with blood everywhere and it stung so bad !!! I was 8 … the next time I was on a double date with my new jeans at 16 and I went to the door to get my friend and this back dog came out of no where … it didn’t attack me like the other dog but he just came up to me and bit a hole in my leg and a huge hole in my jeans !!!”
“Ever since then I have to get to know animals before I really approach them … I have several small animals and my baby is so sweet … I’ve never even heard her bark !!!” she went on. “My dogs are unbelievably precious … I grew up with really big dogs !!! They were German Shepherds and were trained in Germany !!!”
Britney Calls Sawyer A 'Gift From God'
Britney went on to say, “When I used to have men speaking in Spanish at my gate in Louisiana … my dog that was God to me was Angel !!! It was the most beautiful animal I’ve ever seen in my life … most German Shepherds are black but this one was yellow and white and his hair was long … but his face looked like his breed.”
“I was 5 when I had him … I love dogs, I just don’t trust other people’s !!!” she added. “I found Sawyer in Maui, a gift from God !!! Literally !!! He held me so tight when I held him that I literally couldn’t leave the place !!! Women were all pulling up at the farm and I’m holding this adorable puppy I can’t let go of … they were all staring … I’m like ‘Okay what’s up !!!! Go now’ but I was the one who couldn’t leave !!!”

“The owner finally stopped by realizing I wasn’t going anywhere and she gave him to me !!!” she added. “He slept with me the first 2 nights then started teething and the little s— bit me … small bite so he’s forgiven … anyways, he’s grown so much since I first got him !!!" Britney went on. "He’s only 8 months and if anyone comes in my room that he doesn’t know, he literally acts like a lion !!! He literally shows a protective side I wish I would have seen in my so called ‘protective system’ !!! I mean yes … I’ve felt totally safe with my security … it’s their job to do what they’re told !!!”
In a follow-up post, Britney said that Sawyer made her feel more loved than any man she has been with. “Sawyer made me feel more loved in 9 seconds than any man I’ve ever been with … no bulls—, no words !!!” Britney wrote. “Pure genius protection because of 1 thing … HE LOVES ME !!!!
