A Sad Tale....
33 Answers
I rarely do sad tales but this made me very angry and shed a tear or two with my neighbour.
While I was on holiday last month (she's not been able to talk about this before today) she took her dog for a walk.....a little Pomeranian.
He dog was attacked by an off the lead ..Staff?....Pitbull?......which wouldn't let go despite her efforts...and she's a seventyish very small lady..
The owner arrived, made his dog drop the Pom.....or what was left of him....he was, in her words, shredded and torn open from being shaken.
He said sorry and ran off leaving her with the bloody body of her dog. She had enough wit to get his car number and later reported him to the police.
She carried her dog's body to her car and home....how awful that was for her.
Two weeks later, not having heard from the police she phoned them and was told they had spoken to the owner and case closed because she wasn't hurt....only her dog....it was a dog on dog incident and nothing to do with them.
But how could this young man have left her there, in a state, with her dog's body?!!

My neighbour's dog was bred to show I believe....but had some sort of problems so the owner couldn't show....my neighbour took him in.....paid for treatment and has loved him just for being a dog dog...even if he didn't look perfect......

This is my constant dread, my own dog being attacked by a bigger viscous dog. I have tried to persuade the Government to do something about dog on dog attacks, which are all too frequent, but they will not. A little pom in my area had it's head ripped off by a muscular staffy a few years ago, the owner could not control it and she just kicked the little dog's head into the gutter afterwards. This haunts me. It is absolutely disgusting that nothing was done about this dog who WILL attack again and my heart bleeds for the poor lady who had to witness it and cope with it all. I am so glad she is taking it further and hope she succeeds.
Right, tell her to call the police again and tell them the dog was out of control and she was terrified of it and she felt like she was in danger. Tell her to tell the police she felt like she would have been bitten had she intervened. That way the police HAVE TO take notice whether or not she was bitten or not. I have had this same issue, they weren't interested in the dog on dog attack, but they were interested in me feeling scared of being bitten had I intervened. (I had bruises over my legs from the attack too, but I wasn't bitten) but even without the bruises they have to take note if she felt threatened of being bitten. She can also fill in a victim personal statement form about how the ordeal has affected her emotionally.
