Hi,
I recently bought a home on a lake in Michigan. Our home is the last house on the lake next to a shallow bay. Today my 2 year old and small dogs were siting on our dock and the swan we see everyday decided to apporach us. It came near my dog hissing and flaping his wings, my dog bowed his head in submission but then my little girl was dangling her legs over the edge of the dock and he started hissing at her. I got them both inside and was a little taken back. I though swans only came after some one when they felt threaten. We were doing nothing to this swan and now i'm very concerened. What should i do to keep my family safe?
