A dog bites a child. Lab? Cocker Spaniel?

27 bites and he walks away with a cast on his arm. Either that was a lab or that pit was 9 weeks old :biggrin:

That's normally a tough neighborhood. I would have expected the 7 y/o to stab the dog in the face.

I was attacked a couple different times by dogs as a kid. One of which I nearly killed when it wouldn't let go but I think they had to have it put to sleep as a result. I still feel bad but owner should have had him restrained. I was stupid to not get treatment, however i'm suprised they did nothing to the dog or owner in this story, seems that when any kid gets attacked, they hose the owner and the dog gets to go to sleep.
Yet my sister in law's dog jumps up against a fence in excitement of the mail man and he sues her for $60k and wins cause he said it scared him and he injured his back when he jumped backwards.....go figure.

I witnessed a large white Shepherd/Chow mix maul a 6-year-old when I was about 8 or 9. The kid needed plastic surgery and everything.

A neighborhood puppy, Ginger, had started her first heat cycle and all the neighborhood dogs started following her around.

The attacking dog, Blitz, was normally inside a fenced-in back yard but managed to jump the huge gate when he got a whiff and joined the others for the next couple days. He was easily the biggest and fought away any other dog that tried to mount the puppy.

He was normally friendly to people but when the kid bent over to hug the fluffy puppy that was in heat, instinct took over and he treated the kid no differently than the other dogs messing with his girl.

I recall having to write my first witness statement and helping animal control hunt down the attacking dog, who was still friendly and happy to see me while we coaxed him into the trap. I later found out that the kid claimed that "the white dog bit me on the head and the brown dog bit me on the nose" so they both got put down. I'm pretty sure the brown dog (Ginger) only licked him/the blood after the attack, but neither should have been loose in the neighborhood.

My wife kept telling me to get a standard poodle but I couldn't get past the freaking jerry curl and if I was going to get a dog that big again anyhow it was going to be another Shepherd. RIP

Chow's are the most likely big dogs to bite in my experience.

 

[1sikbITCH]

Agreed. Luckily Chows generally bite in response to a perceived threat and not just for sport.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I fucking hate people with aggressive pets. Hope they all die along with their destructive animals.

I was bit in the face by a dog. It's no joke. Almost 300 stitches were put in my mouth, lip, and inside my nose. People often forget that dogs are animals and, as such, can be unpredictable.

Dogs are some of the most predictable animals out there...IF you know how to read the signals.

Some people seem to interact with dogs all their lives and never learn what their different stances/noises/actions mean.

Preach your bullshit to someone who wasn't bit in the face by a completely predictable dog. Not a single person in the room saw anything wrong, but, according to you, they all must have been idiots. Or, and this is obviously not the answer in your world of being a know-it-all, the animal responded to something instinctively because it was, well, an animal.

Also, saying a dog is the most predictable animal out there is completely meaningless for this conversation. That may be true, but most animals are incredibly unpredictable, so that isn't saying much.

 

[thedarkwolf]

It probably did give signals.

I've been bit by many dogs over the years. Always seem to be in the wrong spot. Last one was breaking up a fight between my foster dog a shepherd/maybe low content wolf and a chow mix from next door. Have some nice scars on my wrist from the chow but it was my fault for getting between them by myself.

Exactly...instinctively. Not randomly.

I was not discrediting your story or claiming that people should discount the dangers posed by animals. Go on and keep believing that animals are completely impossible to predict all you want, but if that were true, Steve Irwin would have been taken out by that very first snake.

The amount of emotion that you packed into that post suggests that you aren't ready to consider the incident rationally anyway, so I don't know why I bother...

It didn't. I've been around dogs my entire life and it's not hard to tell when they are about to snap. This was totally out of the blue with zero warning of any impending issue. I raised the dog from a puppy and I knew him very well. The fact remains that dogs, even calm breeds (golden retrievers), are still animals and can be unpredictable.

You seem to not have a good grip on this language. Unpredictable doesn't mean it can't also be instinctive unless you're going to try to convince me that you're some kind of dog whisperer and you know exactly how every kind of dog will respond to every situation. I can't roll my eyes hard enough right now.

I couldn't predict that the dog was going to have an instinctive reaction that would lead to it biting me all in a span of about two seconds when it had never done anything like that in it's entire life. I'm not being emotional about the incident. It was almost 10 years ago. I'm using a heavy dose of sarcasm because your kind of stupid won't be able to interpret anything else. For all intents and purposes, it was totally random and definitely not predictable considering he had been in the exact same environment with the same people dozens of times. That's pretty much the definition of unpredictable.

 

[zanejohnson]

a dog visciously attacks me.. any kind, and i end it's existence.

 

[tcsenter]

i got bit in the face by a dog

Me, too, still have the fairly-visible scar after ~20 years, took eight stitches to close the wound.

Entirely my fault, though. It was a Chow mix, about 6~7 months old (still a puppy), and I was blowing in its face. I thought it was funny/cute how he would lick and bite at the air current, looking a little perplexed and curious about where this air was coming from, until CHOMP right down on my mouth and nose. A kanine went into my face next to my nose at about the level of the nostril, and I flinched/pulled back, causing the tooth to rip/rake through the flesh down into my upper lip.

Only then did I remember being told many years before "Don't blow into a dog's face, especially a puppy". lol

You got 300 stitches from a bite from your own Golden Retriever?

 

[CZroe]

Chow's are the most likely big dogs to bite in my experience.

He looked like a full-sized German Shepherd with a splotchy tongue but was solid white so there had to be something else in there too. The brown puppy looked more like a chow (curled tail, fuzzy, brown).

 

[KeithTalent]

A vet I used to work for stopped accepting Chows as patients because of all the biting. All other dogs welcome, but no Chow!

I am not saying I don't believe this, or calling him a liar, but that seems almost unfathomable to me. My golden doesn't bite my 10 month old daughter when she pulls on its ears and tries to put her fingers in the dogs eyes (I stop her as soon as I see it, but it has happened). Dog just lays there and takes it , or walks away.

 

[Murloc]

neither should have been loose in the neighborhood.

yeah leaving a dog loose is stupid already, but doing so with a dog in heat is a superior level of retarded.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Don't own aggressive animals. If you do don't be shocked when little Jimmy's dog is put down and your being sued because your dog bit someone.

Pit bulls are always owned by those with low IQ.
