    Important Legal Question, Help.

    About a hour ago, I was taking my dog for a walk, and we got attacked by a dog from across the street.

    The house looked really trashy and had 2 dogs on little tiny cables with no fence.

    What happened was, one of the cables broke, and a pretty big dog came, and started to attack me. He bit my hand. But it wasn't bad.

    However, my dog tryed to defend me, and then the attacking dog bit it's neck and ear, and wouldn't let go, until the owner came like 10 minutes later, although I was screaming at the top of my lungs for help since I didn't want my dog to die.

    The dog finally let go, and then the guy and his girlfriend went back inside their house to rechain the dog, and just left me and my dog out there for like 15 minutes.

    Then he just comes back, and asks what he can do. He did not apologize. But I think he wanted to see if he can do something about it. So I tell him, Can you pay for a vet check up then. So then he says yes, and gives me his number.



    Should I sue this guy? I mean, that dog was trying to and would have killed my dog.


    I don't want to see his dog put down or sent to the pound or whatever though, that's the problem. If that dog has to die for the owner's stupidity, then I won't sue him.

    Off the top of my head... you should call the cops and have this incident documented. Take a bunch of pictures of any injuries you or your dog has.

    Cover all your bases in case he tries to sue YOU.

      Ok I just checked over my dog again, and this time, I noticed a fucking hole in his neck. I can see the muscles and stuff underneath, but the Vet is closed cause it's sunday and night time now.


      What should I do?

        Refer to my original reply and apply direct pressure to the wound if it's bleeding really bad.

        If an artery isn't damaged your pet can wait 12 hours for medical attention.

          Apply a large amount of peanut butter on his pecker and he'll easily forget about his wounds for a few hours.

          LOL. Sorry, I just had to say it.

            He's not bleeding bad at all, but there is a puncture wound. It's like a hole. It looks pretty bad. Help Me!

              I know you don't want to see the animal put down... and I am not trying to devalue the life health and welfare of your dog... but you need to think.. what if that had been a child walking bye, alone.

              It really should be looked into by the proper authorities.

                  I discussed this with my friend who works at the local humane society and he told me to call the cops to make a report and basically everything that Flash said, cept for the peanut butter part of course.

                  Thanks guys.

                        i had that same shit happen to me a couple of years ago.

                        i found out that apparently by law i was bound to report it to the animal control. they came out and took pictures of my leg (where i was bit), then basically i had to go to court and testify against the dog by telling my story (this wasn't a civil case, it was simply to determine whether or not to put up a sign in the owners yard saying there was a vicious dog here).

                        i fucking hate german shepards now because of this incident.

                        but report it to the animal control. only get the cops involved if you're going to press charges on the owners for negligence.

                          Go to the emergency room after you see your vet and have that documented too!

                            Scatboy--I'm glad you and your dog are ok, really.

                            I just got a puppy back in November and I would be beyond fucking pissed if this shit happened to me.

                            Fuck the owners and their psycho dog.

                            Report this shit NOW!

                            That fucking vicious dog needs to be put down. Those fucking owners obviously don't know how to properly train, and maintain an acceptable level of behavior for their dog.

                            I hope everything is ok with you and your dog.

                            Good luck.

                              The fucking OWNERS need to be put down! Remember that shit with those hippy fuckers in San Francisco a couple years ago, when two dogs killed some lesbian and they fookin charged the owners with murder?? DASS what I'm talkin' 'bout, Willis. Use the fookin' My Lai defense for the pooches and send the owners up the river, or lock 'em in a kennel an' shit!

                              Ahem... uh, hope everything works out okay, Scat, and that you guys come out okay.
