Oh my, I'm so sorry you and your girl had to go through this...you both must have been terrified. I'm so glad she is doing well and doesn't seem to tramatized. Hugs....

Thank God she was not killed. Please watch any place her skin was broken. Bites and scratches can turn bad very quickly and need Vet Care and medication. Hugs

My Jilly was on the leash but she was attacked so fast I didn't have time to see the dog coming & react faster than the lunge through the air at her, grabbing her in its jaws up into the air. I did have a walking stick with me(first time I'd ever taken one along) - but for that, she would have died that day. As it was, she spent the next hours in surgery & her rehab was 6 weeks, went well - and best of all, she wasn't scared of other large dogs afterward. Thereafter, I take out a large auto-open umbrella on all outings. It is the best deterrent of dog-attacks I've ever seen.

I'm so glad your baby wasn't severely injured but sorry that happened to her.

I am so sorry to hear that your little one was attacked and thankful that your BF was able to save her. I belive you mentioned the owner was there. What did he or she have to say? I would have LOST it on them! I get so angry when I see dogs off leash. People seem to forget that altho their dog may be a wonderful pet, they are still animals and capable of aggresive behavior. My brother as a young boy had a large chunk of his leg torn off by an off leash dog. Thankfully so far nothing has ever happened to Chloe.

I am glad to hear that aside from a scratch she seems to be okay. I cant imagine how scary that must have been!

I'm glad your baby is okay...and yes, I would have handed my pup over to my boyfriend and marched right on over to the owners and chewed them out. I see people around here at walking trails and disc golf courses that let their huge dogs roam free and "loosely" follow behind them. No matter how well-trained people think their dogs are, my little Toki looks like a giant squirrel to some of these big dogs and there is not much you can do to disrupt that prey drive when it kicks in.

We live in an area where ignorant neighbors let their dogs run loose. Two of our 6 go out to potty, the others use peeped pads. When the two are out,usually on a double leash, my eyes are scanning for other dogs constantly.

I seem to have made some of my dogs into what my Mom called "hot house plants". They are only out if carried. Overly protective? Very possible but I am just not going to take the chance of them getting attacked.

Thank God your baby was not seriously injured.

So glad it wasn't worse than what it was. I would still take her to the vet. Even though the cut on her might be small they will probably give her a shot. Never hurts to have one checked out. Thank goodness she wasn't killed.

I'd just assumed she's been taken to the vet for the cut on the head since it could have come from a tooth from another animal & all that that implies germwise. I would let the vet check any suspected dog bite & treat.

It is sad but true that even good dogs see these little furry dogs as something to hunt. My son's dog is a Lab that has been to my home and met Gracie and was very good with her. But when he saw her outside he was like a different dog! He kept trying to stomp on her. I had her on her leash so I was able to pick her up right away but it was shocking to me that the same dog that pretty much ignored her inside acted totally different outside. I never let Gracie off lead, ever, because I know how larger dogs are around little furry dogs. In a public place like a beach or park you have no idea of what kind of dogs or people are going to be there. I'm glad you were able to save you little girl.

Whenever I see other dogs around I just pick my little one up, and carry her, just to be on safe side. Even if the other dog is aggresive, usually they won't attack me (oh well, even if they do I'd be willing to take the bite than letting my little one bitten). Glad your bf was there, hope Bella is ok

Aww bless her I hope she is ok & that you are ok how scary x

I dont know how legal this is where you live but I always carry a very small glasses screwdriver and I swear I would stab any dog to protect my Ollie.

The screwdriver is enought to hurt but not too big that its dangerous, here in UK its small enough not to be classed as a weapon.


Our friends yourkie was attacked whilst she had her on a leash and she was bitten badly & torn & my friend said nothing she could do would make the dog drop hers. Her vet suggested the glasses screwdriver.

I hope your little one is OK . I have had a problem with my Lottie she was attacked by a bigger dog but luckily she was on a lead and I just pulled her toward me and she run up the front of me , now she is terrified when she is out and lunges and nips at bigger dogs.
She has been almost picked up by dogs but I have always been there to intervene but she is a nervous wreck .
I hope your poor baby is fine today.

Since I had a 3 lb. Yorkie attacked, seriously injured by a big, unleashed dog on a walk, I try to post this story on every thread like this for anyone who hasn't already read it. I might work for you:

I walk with a huge black umbrella that self-opens when I push a button. It is a big thing and impressive as it opens! It give me a large appearance to the approaching dog, having that big, wide structure spread all out before me.

The thing I found most helpful to me about the open umbrella is the distance it will keep a troublesome dog away from our immediate vicinity. I have yet to have one ever get even remotely close to me and my Yorkie with the trusty brolly fully employed. They either go the other way immediately(99% of the time), stand their ground if the owner is making them or give you a very very wide berth. They don't get close enough to or try to keep an aggressive attitude when they hear the umbrella whoosh open and see that imposing shape blossom open before their eyes. It is very disconcerting to any dog. It is a good diffuser of tense situations but should it not be, a sturdy or actual defensive umbrellas can serve as a real weapon should you actually run into a dog who is bent on attacking. When my little 3 lb. Yorkie, Jilly, was attacked by a 65 lb. Dalmatian on a neighborhood walk, my simple wooden walking stick(pre-umbrella) was how I saved her life and got her free of the big dog's jaws. It was after that attack that I decided to use a button-operated umbrella for future walks as a deterrent - even if I have no dog with me.

But the role an open umbrella best serves is just a dissolver of bad attitudes. Most approaching dogs aren't really bad, they just are inquisitive, excited and out of control and this tool helps them to settle down rather quickly and become serious about how they can best stay well clear of you, your dog and your umbrella. And it gives you a wonderful sense of security, which a dog can read from quite far off.

Train your dog to sit/stay when you open the umbrella so that in an emergency situation, your dog will not be running around at your feet or shying away from the umbrella opening, thus adding to the stress of the moment.
