Mauled by a Mastif

[ianh 83]

Just spoke to the vet nurse, they starting on her now, had to wait as shed eaten. Its the Herts Game and Country Fair tomorrow, if she is bearing up in the morning, I might go over and sit by the show field for a few hours and see how she takes it. No rush but as the weathers nice and she's by and large amongst friends it might be an idea to see if/how badly shes spooked or not

 

personally i wouldnt take her mate, been a traumatic event for her, and like us they can take a while to get over it, certainly get her to see other dogs soon but dogs you know and trust not a big fair full of strangers. ease her in gently like. just my opinion

[Rake aboot 4,936]

Arseholes and Mastifs! plenty about,,

One bit a kid very bad a few yards from my hoose the other day , so it was pts,, problem being,, the owner knew it bit as it had previous,, maybe they were just hoping it would not actually kill a child,,,,, eejits

Don't even think about taking her to a show/fair until she's had the stitches out. She'll still be in pain anyway, and probably traumatised by staying at the vets as well as the attack. Keep her away from other dogs until the stitches are out and she's completely healed: you never know, a dog could snap, growl or whatever at her when you're at the fair. Once she's all healed, take her out with dogs she already knows and see how she goes. Good luck.

Yup, fair comments, she'll stay home. My thought on it was more 'getting back on the horse'. The bill is £220. The mastiff owner is paying that, if that dont teach them to muzzle or leave it on a leash when people are about nothing will.

 

The damage report is purely muscular and the vet is certain there is no bone damage at all which is my biggest fear, at 8 months, she has so far to go, any bone/skeletal issues now would be pretty harsh.

Out walking this morning, bumped quite ;literally into a cpouple walkiing an old mastif (Rhodesian?). My pup was quite content stood by it, it looked as though it was about to sniff her and did so and whallop, the f*****g thing flattens her to the ground and sinks its teeth into her haunch. It took 10 secs to drag the f*****g thing off.

 

My bitch pup Annabel is at the vets now. I am f*****g speachless. Im afraid of bone damage too, those batsrds are going to pay for the vet, the ostiopath the f*****g lot. Then, I shall start on the dangerous dog reports.

 

Shes been doing so well recently on the retrieve, stay, calling off dogs, silent returns the lot. f**k knows how she will behave in front of larger dogs/animals after this. nervouo8s days ahead, gutted and livid in equal amounts.

 

Wait to hear what the vet says, shes 8 months old ffs

Dogs that attack puppies are not to be tolerated imo.And a bitch into the bargain.

I've three adult males who growl at my 10weeks old pup when he oversteps the mark, but are remarkably tolerant of him.

 

When I was a kid, [half a century ago,] my cousin had a lovely Manchester Terrier called Paddy,across the alley from him was a Bull Mastiff called Bruce,

Bruce was a nasty piece of work, perpetually on a chain attached to his kennel , that chain would hold a horse ,Bruce developed a strategy of pulling the 4 foot kennel he lived in along, to get him in striking range of any unwary dogs that came along the alley.

A few doors away was an Alsatian called Major big, but friendly, to dogs and people.

Major would occasionally get out and come over to play with Paddy

.One afternoon,, after such a day ,he was returning home when he ran into Bruce, Bruce killed him inside a couple of minutes . no preamble, no provocation , a canine Tyson,

no one could get him off.

A few weeks later it was Paddy's turn, he was in his own garden lying in the sun, Bruce somehow slipped his collar and came for Paddy ,fortunately my Uncle Bill was home. Bruce attacked immediately he was in range, he got Paddy in his jaws, my Uncle, who was breaking up some scrap iron, brained him with a crow bar across the skull, knocking him senseless. Paddy was prised from his jaws and rushed to the vet,who pronounced," this dog looks like he has been run over, his ribs are crushed"

Paddy eventually made a full recovery, as partially did Bruce,though he was subject to fits afterwards.

Bruce was found dead one morning shortly after ,unloved and, unmourned , cause of death a mystery, he had spent his life chained up ,I never saw him exercised,played with, or given any attention.He had spent a life of morose, malevolence, plotting how to get his teeth into his next victim.

 

Today he would have not seen his second birthday but in those times he was just steered clear of.

Such dogs are liabilities ,accidents waiting to happen, bad dogs and ,worse owners.

All the best with your youngster,hope it makes a full recovery.

I am flattered that the, " Master", approves.

There's a woman near me, an OAP, walks a black lab. She has no control over it. It charges anything it sees coming; prams, kids, dogs. It'll run right off the field if it sees you coming in the distance and she lets it off the lead all the time. It'll hurt or kill something/someone some day. Try telling that old woman to get her dog under control. OAP she may be but she's got a mouth like a sewer and she actually wacked someone with her chain lead the other day when they were kicking her lab off their 14 year old, on lead terrier. Next time she calls me a dirty foreigner and gobs off at me for kicking her dog off of mine - who are always on lead back there - I'm going to tie the dogs to a fence and give her a sound trashing.

 

There are loads of people out there who don't even bother to think ahead about the consequences of letting their dog run amok. Unsocialised, undisciplined, out of control, whatever ... we all have to have forethought with our dogs. Some places I only let one off and not all three, some places I put them all on lead if there's a bend in the path or I can't see ahead to who might be coming. Most of the time, tho, I walk for miles and miles so I can get into the middle of nowhere and be alone with my dogs and my thoughts and not molested by some fooking furry nutter.

 

There are too many stupid humans around these days, and too many dogs to go with them.

Give the old fart a leathering Jenn Its called responsible dog ownership, a rare commodity nowdays, the local morons used to have a staff(poor breed that attracts many fools) that escaped everytime they opened the door and attacked the nearest dog(which they revelled in), this happened several times to other folk, until it happened when i walked past with my 11 year old lurcher, which didn't take kindly to being attacked, i felt sorry for the dog and told the owner exactly what would happen next time it escaped, and not to the dog......... Some folk dont deserve livestock
