A couple of weeks ago, my dachshund got jumped by a stupid goldendoodle as we were walking by it in the town woods where I grew up. I had to jump on top of them and throw the dog off of mine. The idiot dog's owner was like 'dogs just being dogs'.
My dog ran and when I caught up to him, I noticed he was bit. When I yelled back to the other guy, the fucker ran with his dog. I lost him when I started to chase after him. I had to take my dog to the emergency hospital since it was late Saturday. I filed a police report in case I bump into him again down the road, they have a reference when I call them. The police told me to call them if I bumped into him again and they would get his info.
My dog's wound:
Today, as I was walking in the woods with the dogs, guess who I bumped into? The douche quickly leashed his dog as it starts lunging at me and my dogs. I tell the guy that his dog had bit my dog a couple of weeks ago, he was like 'ok'. I also tell him that I had filed a police report b/c he had taken off after the incident, that he should take responsibility and apologize. He was like 'good for you' and starts walking away.
I start following him and call the cops. At first, he was walking to exit the woods then noticed I was following him and turns down another trail. I catch up to him and when I tell him that I was on the phone with the police right now, he takes off. Note this guy must be like 50 years old. Why would he fucking run now that he's been caught? Pic of him running:
So, I tell the police that I'm going after him and hang-up. I'm running right behind him with my dachshund in one arm with a backpack and my other dog on leash for about 1/4 of a mile then I yell at him that I'm running a marathon tomorrow and that he's not going to be able to out run me. He stops. And he starts telling me that my dachshund was the one that attacked his dog. He then says that his dog is nine(dog is probably around one) and that he's never attacked another dog. Then he's like, how do I know that it was his dog that attacked mine. The guy is lying his ass off over and over.
Note, while he's telling me this, his dog is lunging at us. He says that his dog is acting that way b/c of the commotion. I ask him why are my dogs completely calm then. He says nothing. I tell him he can tell that to the police. At first he says, ok but then stops. I tell him, I'm going to follow him straight back to his house. I tell him to take responsibility for his dog, that I had to take my dog to the hospital and spend hundreds of dollars. The only thing he says is that I can take pics of the dogs tags(rabies, dog license and his information). I take pics.
The guy then takes off again into the woods. Another guy that was over hearing everything comes up and asks me if I want him to join me in chasing after him. I tell him no, I got his info but thank him.
Didn't see the police officer when I got out, so I drove over to the police department and showed them the pics and they took down his info. They were recording my phone call and know the guy ran when I tell him the police are coming. I discover the police officer is the brother of a high school friend who also is a Lt for the police. Of course, he tells me that I shouldn't have chased after him. They plan on going out to his house to talk to him.
It blows my mind that a 50 year old douche bag won't take responsibility for his dog's actions and thinks running when I have the police on the phone. All he had to do is apologize and offer to pay my vet bill but nope, he's got to be a lying sack of shit.
The main reason for involving the police and chasing after him was not to let him get away with it and to ensure that his dog has a record for being aggressive.
So, I have his info. Should I do anything with it?
I could take him to small claims court but he'll just lie and it'll be my word against his.
He was wearing a lacrosse shirt of the high school. I google and learn that his son plays for one of my good friends from hs who is the coach. Knowing this and being friends with some of the officers has me conjuring up evil thoughts of what I could possibly have them do. But I won't.
It'll be interesting what he has to say to the police. I'll also probably bump into this ass again in the woods.
Just needed to vent, thanks for reading.
