Re: Dog Owners....


Depends why the dog did it, could the kids have been teasing him through the fence? I am in no way condining what the dog did here but dogs don't usually just turn for no reason unless they are mentally unstable or trained that way.

I have very lively and boisterous pup (a very big pup!) but I know she would never bite anyone.

Like I said, depends if the dog was provoked into doing what he did.

Re: Dog Owners....


That is awful Donna....what a shock for those poor children....

I don't own a dog but I agree if he came into the garden and started attacking and biting the boy he should be PTS. Have the owners of the dog made any comment, Donna?

Re: Dog Owners....

Re: Dog Owners....


This is unacceptable Donna - what a terrible thing for those children to experience.

None of us were there to know the exact course of events, however 2 things spring to mind.

a) this dogs temperament is certainly not good to do that to a child
b)the owner is irresponsible to allow the dog to be in an area where he can escape from the garden & allow this to happen

Having owned large dogs (Bullmastiffs / Rottweiler) for many years (not now) there is a high level of commitment & responsibility that comes with caring for a dog & this sort of thing should NEVER be allowed to happen.

Re: Dog Owners....


That's absolutely terrifying!! The Police really need to be informed of this. I agree with everyone else, if I owned a dog that attacked a child unprovoked, I'd have it pts without question.
