This is EXACTLY why I do not utilize these areas. I am praying your little man survives this attack without too many residual problems, issues, physical or psychological, etc.....
Do you live in a home with a yard? If not, I would be walking my dog for exercise and staying away from dog parks, where "survival of the fittest" is often the rule of thumb......When I walk my dog, I would carry either bear repellent which you can get at a hunting store, or a good, sturdy ax handle to beat off attacking dogs allowed to run wild and unsupervised.
What this owner wants for HIS dog is of no concern to me, if I were in YOUR shoes. I would report this attack to Animal Control, as you have no idea how many times this has not happened in the past....to other dogs, to humans, etc. I can promise you, if this dog is running freely with other dogs, yes, he will attack another dog. I am not a fan of suing....everyone sues for everything, and unless it is a matter of life and death, it makes little difference and your objectives can more easily be achieved by contacting animal control. If this dog has a history of biting, he will be put down, which he should be, before he attacks some old person or a child or another dog encountered on the street. |
