Dog Attack

While walking with Maggie this afternoon we were attacked by a dog in the neighborhood. Dog was very aggressive and I had to pull out my gun. A car came buy and its attention went to it. Once the car passed it started on us again and I was able to mace the thing. Finally got hold of owner and he was pissed I maced it. I told him he was getting close to getting maced himself or possibly shot. Another neighbor called the cops and the moron was sighted. People want to take NO responsibility for anything anymore.!

I had two pit bulls come after us one evening about 1 month ago walking down a public street. When I heard them approaching ( barking aggressively and lunging at us) , I quickly pulled myself and my dog into the middle of the street and secured my dog on my backside. Luckily I was able to shew them away with my baton cracking it on the asphalt in front of them. I had mace and a firearm if needed.
About 14 years ago I was tangled in a dog fight when a dog from the back of our neighborhood came into my back yard and attacked my very old lab.
I tried pulling them apart and he latched onto my wrist. I eventually broke it up and had to go to urgent care.
I had an open bone fracture on my wrist and the bite came with mm of tearing a tendon.
Not sure what happened to the dog I never saw him again after animal control was notified.
Having been through that I can promise you it will never happen again. Fight or flight kicks in.
Those two pit bulls from last month were within inches of having their headed cracked open or worse.
That owner can be pissed all he wants but it’s his responsibility to make sure the dog is secured at all times.

This makes me think back not too long ago about a thread I posted about bear spray vs pepper spray while walking my dogs. There were lots of good ideas given in that thread. I have yet to take any of them yet, as I'm still recovering from my total knee replacement surgery. I'll need to be back to near 100% before I try to walk my two large German Shepards anytime soon. How did the mace work against the attacking dog?
 
Must be the week for it. I was walking my 50 lb 10 YO Staffy/Lab/Bulldog mix last Wednesday. He’s old enough we don’t go far anymore, just enough to get some air, do some sniffing, and some business, about 3-4 suburb blocks. As we were just about home, 2 big dogs come charging out from behind a house barking and raising hell right at us. Using my best I’m the master your the dog voice, I gave that a resounding “NO” and lucking they stopped about 2 feet from us. My dog (Zee) just looked at them like they were stupid. I pointed at their yard, back fence wide open, and in that same voice “Get in that yard”. Very luckily they listened. I was so distraught, I forgot I had my phone/camera in my back pocket or I would have gotten pictures while they were out and called animal control. Without evidence they won’t do squat. I was relieved it ended that way and in 2-3 minutes we were home. Next day we changed routes.

I hate people that don’t properly take care of their animals 😔.

Wow. People really suck. I'm glad you didn't have to shoot it. That would have been a lot of BS you didn't deserve or ask for.
 
Two pit bulls killed a woman in town. Both were put down and the owners are spending 6 months each in jail consecutively. The reason why consecutively is that they have children at home. Some people say pits are great dogs. Others say until they're not. Having them around kids is like rolling dice.

Got in the face and it didn't like it at all. Must got some in the eyes because it ran itself into a wooden fence. It worked really fast.

I've had pits. Mine were great. I also never left them alone around kids or put them in situations where they could get into trouble. YOU are responsible for you dogs and YOU need to be able to immediately control them at all times.
 
I live out in the country. Some of my neighbors let their dogs run loose. Not mine. When we moved out here, I had a two-acre area in my backyard fenced off with a 6-and-a-half-foot heavy gauge wire mesh fence for my dogs to run in during the day. Our dogs come in only during the day when we are home and come in at night. Other dogs running lose always try coming up to me and my dogs when I'm walking them, but I really try to avoid those occasions, but sometimes it is hard to avoid. I do think Opie and Aunt Bee can handle themselves though.

They are beautiful
 
A dog attack is difficult to navigate. I have had to dispatch a viscous dog that was attacking a family pet. Not an easy task. No one shot one kill possible with a fast moving target while trying to avoid striking your own pet.
Once the attacking animal is hit it becomes a memory you will not easily forget.

99.9999999% of the time, it is NOT the dog, it is the owner, whether through neglect, lack of appropriate training for the breed, etc. Wild roaming dogs are a different animal, but they likely had owners at one time who have failed them. And the only kids that should ever be around ANY dog are kids that have been taught not to stick fingers in dog faces or pull on various dog parts.
 
Our Frenchy last year as a pup. She has grown quite a bit now that her diet includes fingers of young children.

Just trying to lighten the conversation. Dogs are born same as we humans, bad behavior is taught, not inherent.

a condo complex where my in-laws lived (ruidoso) had a person that ran the place and owned 3 rottweilers. he let them loose all the time and no matter how much complaining from the residents about them being loose with children playing, they never kept up with them (dogs). i was walking the complex when the 3 came at me semi growling, but ears were up. i grabbed the dogs and roughed them up (playfully) as they loved it. dogs (all dogs) hate having their airway is blocked off! between that and shoving your hand down their throat keeps them from biting. i've got many other ways to detain dogs.
 
Having been bit by two large dogs who snuck up behind me, with several other close calls, I keep my situation awareness on high when I see aggressive dogs.

Both dogs that bit me went away after a educated (insert sarcasm) the owners on what would happen if they didn't because I was attacked.

I never turn my back on any aggressive dog and have appropriate counter-measures.

I recently adopted two cats to install in my barn for rat control. While at the shelter out of curiosity I flipped through a binder on the desk with dogs available for adoption. Every one of them was a pit or pit mix. So many of these dogs end up in shelters, and then most folks have no interest in adopting them due to their reputation. I see so many of them tied out in yards, that have not been socialized. It is a sad situation created by negligent or indifferent owners. I am glad to see criminally negligent owners prosecuted.
