Dunno why this one set me off but I find it particularly upsetting. Might be the high quality of the video or the guy getting mauled or seeing a dog rolling in its death throes. Most disappointing thing for me was the lack of prompt assistance for the lad being attacked by the copper. They're awfully quick to shot at most stuff, but that took forever. Hell, if he's worried about hitting the guy, taze the biggest damn dog at least! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Someone my wife knows posted this on Facebook (name and pic deleted). What the actual f**k? They are surprised that a shelter won't take a dog that's known to attack? For avoidance of doubt I don't think the child suffered a serious injury, I just can't believe someone would in all seriousness share something like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the appeal of them at all. However If it was a bite that was because small child gouged eyes of dog, then owner needs to ensure child and dog supervised at all times. As any owner with small kids and dogs should do. They'd have a better chance of rehoming if they gave context. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always look like they're struggling to walk on their wee bandy legs and often make snuffling and snorting sounds like they're struggling to breathe. No wonder they're grumpy, they've been bred to be physically deformed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going drop 2.5-3k on a dog get one that actually like you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder they're grumpy, they've been bred to be physically deformed. The humane answer is to have them all put down tbh. Consider doing so also to the humans that demand these increasingly deformed dogs continue to be bred for their aesthetic (which I really don't understand). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the owner just saying "they're usually really friendly" rather than actually supervising the dog or the child should suffice? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Well second time in my life I've got bit by a dog last night. Walking my Shiba on lead and an off lead spaniel sees him, runs up to him teeth beared and starts roaring and trying to bite him. I step in front of my own dog who has gone from 0 to full on rage and the spaniel continues to try to get at my dog who is on lead and being held back by me. Angry Spaniel sinks it's teeth into the back of my leg, tearing through my jeans and bursting the skin. Spaniel's owners stare at me as if it's my fault and dogs continue to roar at each other. "Get your dog on a leash!" I shout. They eventually grab it and slouch away saying nothing as they notice the blood all over the back of my jeans. Maybe they are embarrassed and just want to get away in case they think I want to call the police. At this point I'm too angry to say anything. Fed up with arseholes who have reactive dogs that they don't keep on lead. Edited May 8 by AndyM 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fed up with arseholes who have reactive dogs that they don't keep on lead. We get it daily, our dog is walked on 2 leads and a muzzle, she wears the muzzle after being attacked by an off lead dog and becoming reactive. It's getting to the point I'm just going to punt the next dog that come bundling up to us off lead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if crawling was required... fekker looks as if it could chew it's way out from under a boulder! Just think... as it approaches you, the last words you might hear are "Tyson! Tyson!
