Spike...an English Bulldog killed today My daughter is spending a night at her friend's house and the mother and I are good friends. Anyway, they (Andy & Joanne) have a CUTE white English Bulldog named Spike. Spike was 8 weeks old. Well, long story short, Andy and Joanne got into a huge argument. Andrea (their daughter and my Sarah's friend) wanted to take the dogs out for a walk. Andrea had Spike and my daughter had their weiner dog. Spike is not collar/leash trained...he was only 8 weeks old. They did manage to go for a very short walk and went back home. Spike didn't want to walk anymore so Andy jerked the leash VERY HARD. They took Spike inside. Spike started having labored breathing. After about 10 minutes, he was still breathing funny so Joanne took Spike in to the emergency vet. Spike was overheated. He started building fluid up in his lungs and eventually started bleeding from the mouth. I don't know all the details or if the jerk of the collar/leash had anything to do with it but Spike ended up bleeding to death. Keep the family in your prayers. They lost their female Bulldog (2 years old) earlier this year to a grass allergy...her trachea completely closed. I always recommend using a break away harness instead of a collar. It's very possible that the jerking cause a break in the throat area causing blood to trickle into the lungs. Something to think about if you are a collar user. |
Gosh...That is so sad! Poor little baby! |

That's just terrible. My thoughts and prayers are with that poor family. |
That is awful, my heart and prayers go out to the family in their time of loss! |
That is so sad :( How old is the daughter? |
That is sooo sad. That\'s a lesson learned the hard way. An 8 week old pup doesn\'t need walking and especially not by a little girl. Poor pup. |
how heart breaking im sorry your daughter had to witness that i am a firm belive in leash training but 8 weeks old gosh the poor puppie didnt even have protecion from parvo on the rd! how sad for the family |
Poor Spike Oh man I\'m such a bulldog lover. My boyfriend has two and we just lost his 7 yr old female Suzie a couple months ago and his puppy Winston drowned in their pool at 2 months of age last year. It\'s so heartbreaking. :cry8: What an awful way to learn such a simple lesson. That pup was way to young to be leash trained. And especially by a child. My heart goes out to them for their loss of Spike and their 2yr old baby too. I\'m so sorry that your daughter had to witness such a horrible experience. :fallen: :luvu: Harleys Momma :luvu: |
Omg that is such a sad story...Poor baby - I know the child must feel so bad -that\'s a VERY hard lesson to learn at the expense of a small young puppy - How tragic....I don\'t really know what to say except that I\'m very sorry to hear this. |
