martin 332 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 My 87 yr old Mother was out with my Whippet today and a f***ing Staffy's ripped into her from behind and tore a great big hole in her shoulder putting a tooth through her blade bone(scapula)and may be into the lung,she is taking an inordinate amount of time to come round from the anaesthetic and they are worried about a pneumothorax I have to take Mum down to the Police station Sunday afternoon to make a statement,I am f***ing livid and am going to push for the dog to be put down.My Mother was covered in blood when I got there and she had been pushed through the hedge backwards by the dog when she tried to beat it off with her walking stick,luckily none of the blood was hers and she seems to have taken it in her stride(they made them in the 'Old Days' )!!Martin Quote Link to post
RossM 8,119 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Was the staffy with anyone or on a lead? Hope the whippet makes a recovery.... And the old dear sounds like she done a grand job too. Quote Link to post
martin 332 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 My Whippet was on her lead but the Staffy wasn't and it shook her all round the place,and a neighbour of the owner came over and beat the dog with Mums stick to get it off and then the owner came over and took the dog away.

sussex 5,777 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 How's your mum & the dog doing martin ? Have you managed to contact the owner of the staffy , he at the very least owes you & your mum an apology & an explanation & the vet bills ..or is it a case of another little man big dog syndrome ...Good luck with it ..

martin 332 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hi Steve,I picked the dog up earlier from the vets and she is obviously well bruised but doing ok. I took Mother to the Police Station to make a statement and tell them that I wanted the dog destroyed so it will now go to court,the bill so far is £487.50 and will go up a bit more but the owner(she)will pay up so she says.....we will see. Here she is......... And here is Mothers clothes that she wore at the time...... Martin Quote Link to post
