i can't believe the way the dog's owners reacted! i may have missed the mention of it, but did they find the owners to question them/hold them accountable? |
We had a little Cavalier killed by a Staffie around here a few weeks ago. Also, a yorkie had a leg ripped off a couple of years ago after a boy set his Staffie on the little dog. The yorkie's owner picked it up and tried to protect it but it still lost a leg. A few months ago I saw a Staffie chase a little old Jack Russell out of a park. I just managed to pull my little son out of their path and the dogs ran onto the road. The Staffie had just got hold of the old dog when a car knocked the Staffie flying. Amazingly, the little JR got away with a bruised leg but the Staffie was pretty broken up. The Staffie's owner had done nothing to stop the attack and it took ages for people to persuade him to get the dog to the vets...scumbag.
