| My baby was attacked I am in the UK and my Stanley wasn't so lucky yesterday, he was mauled by a German Shepherd and was killed outright. I tried to protect him but the other dog just went between my legs and I couldn't help my baby. I am so upset I can't even talk to the man who owns the German Shepherd. I had to take Stanley to the pet crematorium this morning and leave him there, the owner of the dog has told neighbours that he will pay the bills but saying and doing are two different things. I have reported the attack to the police but have been told I cant do anything, but then other people have told me different today, but I can't find any information on UK law relating to this kind of thing. If anyone knows anything at all please could you let me know, I just don't know where to turn. |

| First off let me say..i'm so sorry for your loss. What a terrible ordeal you've been through. My deepest sympathies. Secondly, is there a animal control officer in your area? I would contact them. They can tell you what the laws are dealing with animals. May your little one rest in peace .

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I am so sorry for the tragic loss of your baby. Maybe you can call a lawyer and ask what your options are.

Personally i would go talk to the owner and see if we would pay for another dog, plus all the expenses the incident has caused you. I have seen on those "judge" shows on tv many times, similar situations and the owner of the small dog killed always won. Research and ask for supporters, gather witnesses. But first go talk to the neighbor, who knows, maybe things will go easier than you anticipate. XOXO

| Oh My gosh!!! I am so sorry like another member mentioned...I would contact your animal control officer. Isn't Victoria Stillwell, the dog trainer, from the UK?? I know she's mentioned that owners of dogs that bite or kill are totally liable for any harm done. When I was a kid we had a mean German Shepard living next door to us and two mean fighting Pitt Bulls on the other side of us. Animal control was always at their houses.
