wow, i am so glad that missy is ok. how scary. that girl is such a rude idiot.

Reading this makes blood shoot out of my eyes! People are so nasty and rude I really am finding it more and more difficult to deal with it without loosing my cool. It seems like it's getting worse all the time. Those of us who try to be responsible pet owners and act respectable towards others just get clobbered. Truly that woman was ignorant and just taking up air needed by the rest of us and she certainly didn't need a dog, large or small but it isn't going to change, at least not for the better. There are no answers and I guess that is the frustration, we know we will keep running into these idiots and have to do the best we can to handle the situation as it comes.
Glad it turned out OK for you.

wow i know how you feel...when i had Mei Ling in confirmation class there as a big akita i think...and he was persistent with trying to get Mei Ling...and I overheard the owner say wow he must think she is a one of those squeaky toys at home...and i said well keep him away from her...and i remember one evening when we were doing one of the walks she lost grip of her leash and sure enough her big akita came charging and me and Mei Ling...I of course screamed and picked Mei Ling up...the owner felt really bad...and all i kept thinking about was her comment about how he could think that she is one of his squeaky toys...and i sure wasn't going to have him get to her...just the thought of how these little yorkie plays with squeaky toys...now picture a big akita and squeaky toy...no way!!!!

He was destined to be a therapy dog but because of the attack was afraid of other dogs and couldn't pass the test required. I'm so glad your baby is ok!


The pepper spray is a great idea!!! I think I'm going to get some and hook it up to coco's leash!!! Twice, my neighbor's chihuahua almost ate coco!!! (they are suppose to be on a leash too, since we all live in an apartment) I also have a friend who had a lab and was walking her down the road and a pit bull attacked her sooo bad, she ended up passing away a month later from the injuries. She couldn't break up the fight. So sad. People are idiots.

Just always be extra careful. I just learned on Tuesday that one of my grooming clients maltese was attacked by a big dog and lost an eye. So tragic and so sad. Not sure how it happened but she is very protective of her little dog, so I can't even imagine. :eek:

Oh wow... I'm glad I haven't taken my little one to the park like I wanted. it is an off leash park and unfortunately there is no small dog area. It is SUCH and awesome park too. Everyone there is pretty nice thou, but I'd still be afraid. I've actually had two pitt bulls dart at my Versace, and pull their owner down doing so, when he was younger. Lucky nothing happened but I was so pissed at her. I lost it and told her she needs to neuter her dogs or train them! A few other not so nice things flew out of my mouth I'm sure. this was in my ex's neighborhood. The dog park that I usually take them to if I take them at all is one that is for small dogs and puppies only. It's wonderful. There's a big dog section too.

Once again a reason why i dont take honey to the dog parks.

Me being on a military post, for some reason, people get MORE stupid and MORE irresponsible. My neighbor took her dog and not 2 minutes later a couple brought over (i think...) a german shepard THAT HAD A MUZZLE ON IT! I mean REALLY? If your dog has to have a muzzle on while just walking why in the HE** do you think its ok to bring it into a dog park where there are free running dogs!?!?!?! Needless to say her dog got attacked and had to call the MPs to file a report. What's even worse is the couple said it was NOT their fault!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!? I'm still enraged! So the MPs had to come over to file a report so they WILL pay the vet bill... I can only imagine if it were honey. i'd be going insane!

They should have "small dog parks"!!!!!!

They do They do!! Have small dog parks I mean, in some places.

Did they not leave the muzzle on? I think if they did atleast they took that precaution. They should of started small thou, you know maybe they were trying to train him/her. Exposing him/her to other dogs? Like on "its me or the dog" I LOVE THAT SHOW and all her training tips work. But for them not to take the blame IS RIDICULOUS.

Thank you....
 
I just had to write and thank you. I read your post the other day and then I was walking my little one last night around the neighborhood a bit later than usual. As we got close to home it had gotten almost dark - more than I would have thought or we would have taken a shorter walk. Suddenly a big black dog who had gotten loose from his backyard was charging at Bella. It was so close I didn't have much time to react and did what you described by pulling the leash up in the air and her harness lifted her out of the dog's reach and into my arms. I had to kick at the dog to keep it away from her - it was so persistent and tried to jump up. I ran up to the nearest house and rang the door bell and the guy came right away and went to get the dog (it wasn't his)- it had collar and tag on and he was going to call the owner. Bella was shaking so much and I was so shaken that we just went home once he was after the dog. I got online and ordered some Muzzle to carry when we walk from now on. I live in a very safe neighborhood with mostly wonderful neighbors, but most have really big dogs and they do periodically find ways to dig or escape out of their backyards... or the owner thinks the dog is able to be controlled by voice and they let them run around the front yard not on a leash :mad: Anyhow- I am just glad that Bella was not hurt and I am so appreciative that I read your post about how to just pull her up with the leash- it prevented her from being attacked.
