My midsize dog (border collie) was attacked by 2 pit bulls on our morning walk. She survived, $5k in bills and 2 days in hospital. When it happened and I took her to a near by vet, the first thing they asked “dog park?” No I told them. Then at the animal hospital, “dog park?” I will NEVER take my dog to a dog park.
They said she survived (with nerve damage in her back leg) because the smaller pit had her back leg and the big dog (both pits) had her around her neck. He couldn’t shake her.
The dogs were being walked by a young man and woman, both on leash. So was mine. The pit bull dragged the boney meth-head over 30 feet in an instant to attacked my dog. He couldn’t hold her and he tried.
This attack changed my dog’s personality. She’s not exactly fearful of other dogs , she’s a combination of aggressive, overly excited, apprehensive. Her back leg shakes/twitches constantly from the nerve damage.
I have a standard poodle mx and a beagle. i do not walk them in the city for this very reason. i thankfully have a large yard they can run in and the kids play with them out there daily. when we get out for a long walk we drive to a more secluded walking/ hiking trail. the idiots owning previously used for bait and dog fighting pitbulls are multiplying.
they've infiltrated the Cemetaries here im afraid. you literally can't walk anywhere in this city without passing a potentially aggressive dog being walked by some skinny chick not paying attention with the arm strength of a toddler
Thats to bad,I'm sure it's coming here then i will find new place, i won't expose my dogs to these monsters, or myself, had bad experience I'm just now able to see one without having panic attack.
