Once upon a time, we had a dog named Fido. Fido was generally a very nice dog, but he did not like other dogs. Indeed, on several occasions, he attacked Spot, the dog owned by our neighbors. For that matter, Fido didn't like people, either, a fact to which our mail carrier could attest! Numerous were the hospital visits resulting from Fido's vicious bites! Fido lived to a ripe old age of 14 before he succumbed to illness.
