Dog Attack

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

No dog should be banned. It just needs to be sorted what owner can have what dog.

How's that ever going to happen?

Mrs Frogs was out walking our toy/miniature poodle Ozzy earlier this week when a flicking great Labrador off lead came out of a nearby wooded area and started attacking Ozzy. Much swearing and shooing at the Lab from Mrs F and the dozy owner eventually came ambling over to take it away. When Mrs F had a pop at said dozy **** for letting his dog off the lead and attacking Ozzy, he denied that the dog had attacked and started wandering off in the opposite direction. She couldn't keep up with him to find out where he lived so as to report the attack but I tell you, if I find him....

Oooh come on, if a larger dog attacked your dog, he would of been eaten or badly mutilated.

Now what exactly were your dogs injuries, if he hasnt any then it quite clearly was not a dog attack, perhaps an over zealous play or whatever or perhaps an over protective owner of a toy dog.

Why do dog owners always say "its ok it wont hurt you " while the dog is jumping all over you ,and why do they believe every person should love their bl*ody mut .I live near the beach and I have lost count of the dopey owners who just let their dogs of the lead and dont give a toss .I have had them sh*t on my front garden ,run round the back of my house and into my kitchen ,chase my kids and piss on our gear while down the beach ,while the owners are oblivious .I spoke to the dog warden from the council who said his area was from Portsmouth through to Shoreham so their is no chance he could police it properly and nothing would get done until there is a serious incident,and when they do try and crack down on owners it is shouted down by councilors because it would be seen as picking on dog owners .It does make me laugh as if it were children causing mayhem around people there would be hell to pay .

Was your dog injured?

Have to admit that was my initial reaction, but it might be an unfair one.

Generally people with little dogs just don't understand dogs; they treat their dogs like little accessories or children and don't understand how dogs interact. It may be an unfair conclusion to jump to in this instance of course.

I have to say that I groan whenever I meet a toy dog in a coat when I'm walking my two - makes me cringe the way some people try to humanise animals.

Yes, you have to have a licence to own a gun. The main reason for this is so that a chav doesnt get one to show off with his mates.

we may need to do the same thing with powerfull dogs. Not saying exactly the same, but mabie everyone who wants to own a powerful dog must have to atend a training school. The police would love it, checking people walking there dogs ( specially the type who you can tell might ruff there dogs up) for tjere cards or proof they attended a training school with that dog.

I know this won't solve all the problem like all crime, but would be a start

Definitely something in what horses arse says about small dogs and their owners. Ridiculous people put clothes on animals, the poor things don't like em for starters! I love my dog but not in a million years would I put a jumper or coat on her. She does love her witches hat on Halloween mind....

Tw@t - were you there? No. Luckily Ozzy was wearing a dog coat which was nearly ripped off his back and has got a couple of rips in the material.

See above - no, he didn't get injured but was shaken up and it could have been a lot worse had he not been wearing a jacket and my wife hadn't fended off the other dog. Is she had left him, I have no doubt serious injury would have occurred.

Disgusting. I went for a walk over the Dyke yesterday and there were two people walking their massive dogs (pit-bulls I think) near cattle. The woman had the larger dog on the lead, but she clearly couldn't control it - the dog was way stronger. I took another route.

Dogs like these should be banned.

Agreed. It makes no sense to allow breeds of dog only designed for fighting to be continued. Bull baiting and dog fighting are banned and so what is their point anymore? There are plenty of alternative breeds of less aggressive dog out there for those who want a pet.

So it is absolutely clear your dog did not get attacked as you have suggested, it seems an inquisitive dog has come over to meet another dog, they are dogs they do not 'doff their caps and say hello', they are dogs and animals and will sniff each others arses and exert a dog code of behaviour, to some it can seem aggressive when it really isnt, perhaps you need to understand this whilst trying to socialise your dog, he really should be meeting and interacting with other dogs, perhaps firstly stop dressing him up in clothes he isnt your baby.

This is why I walk my dogs at night on the downs when there is no other stupid wayne kerr or their bloody mutts to interact with.

What is absolutely clear (apart from you being a tw@t) is that this dog came running over, growling and barking and proceeded to try and lock his jaws around the neck of my dog. He was definitely not coming over to make friends!

Luckily, the jacket he was wearing to keep him warm and dry (not to look like a baby) was thick enough and slippery enough that the mauler could not lock on. It isn't a jacket with a collar and pockets, it is a proper dog jacket for his protection from the elements.

He is socialised and has met and interacted with plenty of other dogs - this is the first time in over four years that another dog has attacked him.

LOL @ "dog"

It aint an attack, your dog is particularly small, no jacket would stop an attacking dog from hurting and breaking the fur of your dog, it is how dogs interact, some are passive some will jump up others really will play bite, have you ever seen a litter of dogs, from the very first days they are teething their siblings.

Your dog is perhaps more vulnerable than other dogs due to its size, but as you have said not one incident in 4 years so quite clearly dogs really arent primed to attack.

Since when did your dogs fur stop working in keeping him warm and dry ??
