Sheila_P Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yesterday, my friend's little dog was attacked and killed, on her property, by an American Bulldog. The owner of the dog was dragged into the garden by it but excused its behaviour saying, 'It's not his fault, he's only a baby'! It could have been a child!!!

Cleopatra Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 The owner was so right. It wasn't the dog's fault - it was the owner's fault for not training it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 OMG Sheila that is so awful and upsetting to read and like you say it could have been in the garden. It could also have been a child or adult simply out walking with their pet dog and who could have been injured or killed had they been in the middle and tried to intervene. The poor little dog and I can't imagine how your friend must be feeling. Did he/she see it happen As for the other dogs owner well clearly they shouldn't have a dog in the first place especially if they think that is normal behaviour for one of any age or breed as it most certainly IS NOT !! Shocking !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila_P Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yes, she witnessed it. She's traumatised. Small children witnessed it to. It was very graphic and horrific. Pics have been circulated of the the owner concerned, who allegedly gave my friend loads of verbal abuse before she dragged the dog away. Two dogs will now lose their lives because of an ineffectual owner. No remorse from the owner, who carried on with her walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila_P Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I know what you mean, Cleo. There are no bad dogs, only bad owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Looking at the picture on FB, the woman was struggling to control the dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila_P Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 She was, Peter. The dog jumped at my friend's gate and dragged her through it. What happened to the little dog was horrific. I don't know how those people will sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugtifino Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 By dreaming of the next killer dog they're going to get, I'd guess. There's only one word for people like this, which the T & Cs forbid me from expressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila_P Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 The dog has now been siezed by the the Police, after a forced entry by them. It is now in Police kennels. Owner and handler will be interviewed on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 It is not just the owner's fault. Some of these breeds are genetically killers that should not be bred in the first place. So much for the lessons that were going to be learned from the Ellie Lawrence tragedy. I am sure though that no respectable breeder would knowingly breed killer dogs which are probably the result of the breeding efforts of back street Johnnies who want to make a few bob on the side by turning out any old dangerous dog for their status symbol hungry mates.

francine Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Just heard of the horrific dog attack. The owner's are to blame, no dog training. You need to take your puppy to lessons, there is no excuse for this to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
