politics aside, is there any news on how the dog is doing?

hope dog ok but still think dog should be on lead

[Guest gypo joe]

Compassion has nothing to do with it, just common sense. If it had been a motorbike or car the dog would'nt be here now, better to err on the side of caution dont you think, NO dog is 100% safe

MOLL.

Someone at last speaks wise words on this thread

the dog could have caused a serios RTA

what would you be thinking then

it should not have been off the lead FULLSTOP

Why are you all getting off on bollocking this bloke who said his dog is hurt because of a nasty accident.

 

It was an accident, not a deliberate event. The dog will never be the same, the owner is grieving and you are blaming him even though you weren't there, never saw the accident but all have very strong opinions about dogs on leads.

 

Can you honestly say you uphold the law every minute and your dogs are under control, but you like a bit of hunting (duh?). Get off your high horses and look at the bigger picture.

 

Abit of sympathy and understanding might not go amiss. Nothing can change what has happened. It was horrible luck and everyone around will hopefully learn from it.

 

Hindsight is a very accurate science and one you all seem to have passed exams in.

I feel really sorry for the lad and more so for the dog, I hope it makes a full recovery, but at 12 y.o. it's harder to recover from injury. As to the on/off lead debate; the lad said the dog was around the corner, out of sight of his dad, who only knew of the accident when he heard the dog yelp. In that case it could have been a paper boy, postman, milkman, someone on their way to work, etc. The moral of the story is keep your dog on the lead. Harsh but true.

Cheers.

ye the man is a full time smackhead he lives with is mum round the corner and he wa certainely not on his way too work he was out nicking to pay for his drugs and my dad was walking the dog on the pavement and the came round the corner off the grass onto the pavement and hit the dog and he probably aint got a fiver to spare for the dog so theirs no point in asking for a little donation , and my dad rung the vets up yesterday too see how hes doin and hes just had is blood sample and their fine hes gettin seen to and hopefully he will be back with us on tuesday......hopefully wardman

similar to me, there is a bloke walks two big mongrels on flexi-leads past my house, he has them on a lead but has no control of them,

 

they snapped at my lad once while he was round the corner and they were 15yards in front suffice to say, my immediate re-action was to defend my lad, so the dog got a kick in the throat and the owner got a mouthful he steer's clear now,

 

they have also snapped at my dogs whilst his were on the lead but again not undercontrol as they are 15yards in-front, i have even seen them veer accross the road in front of traffic after cats or other dogs,

 

the fecking dogs are always at full stretch on the flexi lead where ever he walks them, he really pisses me off

 

so even on a lead doesn't mean under control to some people, Flexi-leads should be banned.

 

rant over

4. if the dog needs to run, then up and down the pavement isn't the best place in the world for it to do it, is it?

 

And neither is cycling on a pavement, smack-head, paper-boy or what ever.

that was cold moll!

It was'nt meant to be cold Ginge, just factual. I have the deepest sympathy for the dog, and respect for the family for forking out the money to have him treated at the vets, so many people 'get rid' because it wont be of service anymore or because they dont want to spend the money.

As Pignut pointed out we have all passed exams in hindsight, the most important part of learning for most animals comes from mistakes we ourselves or OTHERS have made, if we cannot depart that knowledge onto others, then what are these forums for?

If this discussion makes even one person think about the consequences of what may happen when a dog is not fully controlled in a public place, then ill still sleep well even if im thought of as a cold heartless grade A bitch

MOLL.

[Guest baldie]

On the subject of flexi leads, i believe they are a set length, and that length is under, what the law requires the dog "to be under control" , though i agree with compo, that 15 foot away, is hardly under control. I class my deer/grey, under control, when i have six inch of lead, between me and him.

I got a caution under the Dangerous Act about 6 Years ago. A Smack Rat came into my Back Garden and was Nailed by the Dogs. He had ALLEGEDLY came into my Garden to collect his Football at 10:30PM whilst i was on Night Shift. The Police NEW this TW*T but they still gave me a Caution.
