How scary! I'm glad you guys are ok.

I'm glad your little girl is OK. Me and one of my previous dogs were attacked by a neighborhood dog a few years back. It stayed with me. I am very nervous about having strange dogs around Gracie. I know how fast a little dog can be injured by another dog.

We had someone move in down the road from us this winter and they have two good sized Basset Hound dogs that they let run all over. So far they have not been around when I have had Gracie out for a walk but they have come running after me as they bark when I was outside alone. I tell them to get and so far they have backed off but I am really concerned about what will happen if they see Gracie. I guess I have to call and report them before there is trouble. I hope you make a report to the police about what happened to you and your little one. At least it will be on record in case something happens again.

What a sad situation... glad you both are okay. Same thing happens here, so we spend much of our time indoors... and my pups just love going outside.

How scary. I would be furious! It could have hurt your dog and caused life-risking surgery! Report the dog attack and then go speak with your neighbor.

From now on, you might have to take out an automatic, button-operated umbrella and when your dog is out, patrol the area with that umbrella read to push the button and whoosh it open near your dog to dissuade any other dog from approaching your dog. It usually will keep even the most aggressive dog at bay. A truly vicious dog might go ahead and attack if sufficiently provoked but it will keep most dogs away.

I've been using this technique since the late '90's to keep dogs at bay and none has attacked yet, though I doubt we've run into any really vicious dogs when out and about. Just amped, aggressive, overly-friendly and dominant dogs.

You'll have to desensitize your little one to it in the house first by letting it just lie around unopened and cover it in treats. Do that for a week or two and then, with your little one out of the room, open it and place treats all around it and let your little one back into the room. You'll have to live with it like that for about two weeks so each day she finds treats all around it. Frequently walk over and move it around, roll it, pick it up and toss treats to your dog. Be very upbeat around the "Good umbrella" and pat it, talk good about it when you touch it and treat your dog. In time, take it outside, open it with your dog across the yard on a long leash so he can't run off and immediately give your dog a treat. Toss treats all around it and take your dog to the treats near it and allow her to eat them. In time, open it up near your dog, treating her all the while. He will flinch and maybe run but keep it up and in time, he'll learn it won't hurt her. It's a lot to do to desensitize your little dog to but it should help her learn that the umbrella won't hurt her. And it can keep all but the most vicious dog away from your little girl.

It was showing teeth and jump on Jasmin. I had to kicked off the white dog to pick Jasmin up. Now Jasmin is scared to go potty. I was scared and nervous at the time, I wasn't sure if the white dog was going to attack me. I am still nervous now. I am happy Jasmin wasn't hurt. Stupid people need to keep their unfriendly dogs locked up in the yard. This is the dog that barks all day and night that I was telling you guys about a couple of months ago.

Praying baby is ok!!!

I hope you and Jasmin are ok, although you must both be very shaken up by this attack.

Do report it though, as you you may prevent this from happening again, and it could turn out even worse.
