Guide dog attack CCTV footage

I can't help but get worked up about stories like this, especially after having a bull terrier clamp the throat of my collie in what was a very aggressive attack. Luckily after some struggling, I somehow managed to part the dog's jaws and have it back off.

I was incensed further by the fact that the terrier had been taken out by a small group of kids no more than 14 years old.

yea looks like he was going to take a troll pill and then charge for passage across his bridge :rolleyes:

its obvious because hes wearing tracksuit bottoms and doesnt have his dog on a leash.

pure chav scum , probably wanted to mug the poor old blind lady and maybe eat her dog, luckily something spooked him and he called it off though

What's with the sarcasm? I was only pointing out that his behaviour was strange and made no stereotypical notation whatsoever ! :confused:

would solve a lot of issues indeed.

but enforcing such licensing would take huge amounts of money and resources which surely would never see it introduced. :(

i'm not too sure on the whole issue of the bloke never checking to see whether the blindwoman was alright. he obviously has a worked-up aggressive dog with him that he needs to get out of the area quickly and away from the poor guide dog. i think maybe the best he could do is quickly tell a passer by what happened and to check on the blind woman?

if he reapproached the woman with the dog it could happen again... and he can hardly leave the dog elsewhere.

They could charge a decent amount for the licence to cover the costs, it would make people think twice about the cost of owning a dog. In reality a few hundred pound for a licence would be nothing when you consider the the costs of owning a dog (if you look after it properly). You should also have to undergo a training program / test.

I think this would stop a lot of chav types buying dogs.

...and so have I, but I aint owned anything other than a lab. I didn't mean locking in the literal sense, I meant more in the "not letting go" sense. They bite and hold trying to collapse the other dogs throat, IE; kill it.

By kicking I mean enough to shock them into letting go. Cutting the airway for a moment is all it takes and if you've ever had some selfish pricks dog trying to kill you own you'll know how it feels. It is easier to shove your finger beween the collarbone which pokes the airway and makes them pull back, if you're brave enough to get that close. Works with humans too.

You may not have needed to, but when you are forced out of your lovely country area due to over inflated house prices and have to live in a town, you learn quickly that many people have big strong powerful dogs with no respect or regard for others, or the decency to train them for good purposes and laugh when their dog is trying to kill yours. The type of people that use those stupid body harnesses a restraint and get dragged along at arms length.

My Weimaraner was on the recieving end of a bullie attack and certainly came off badly resulting in a hefty vets charge, despite being a very strongly built Dog.

It's owner being one of those moronic chav types that seem to own these dogs proceeded to just laugh and actually urged the dog on as they chomped away at each other. I was honestly dumbfounded that he didn't give a damn until he found his head in danger of being wrapped around a fence post, it wasn't like his dog wasn't taking any damage either. I had a fairly hefty stick (for playing fetch with) and used it as a break stick but damn that dog really did not want to let go, and bless my own dog who stopped fighting as soon as I got the other dog off. I'm amazed I wasn't bitten at some point.

I have no problem with bullies and terriers, it is just complete morons seem attracted to the breeds over other dogs and with the dogs being somewhat more inclined to aggression than other breeds... well the result is obvious.It is such a shame that they get a bad reputation as a result of it, I am well aware they make lovely family pets when looked after and treated properly.

I don't understand what he was doing there in the first place? He puts his can of beer down, lets go of his dog and what? Stands there?

He was feeling the inner city pressure and just.....stood there ¬_¬

Five points to anyone who gets it :D

in reality, i don't think it would sadly. they all breed them and sell them to their 'm8s'. dogs like staffies etc seem to be the new burberry cap, every barry has one. enforcing this everywhere would just be insane.

monitoring the situation effectively i think would be next to near impossible :(

I can't help but feel a breed of dog where the owner is required to carry around a 'breaking stick' just in case should require a license to own. If you need to carry around such tools, dogs like that should really be subject to restricted ownership.

Pitbulls and other bull terriers bite and clamp down (the terrier in them) and aren't so likely to redirect the attack once you've actually gotten them off, so the break stick is useful to have if you have multiple dogs in the same house, just incase a fight kicks off. In an ideal world the dogs wouldn't fight but squabbles can happen. With other breeds that don't clamp down like that you are more likely to be bitten, heck if a Pitbull is fighting with another breed of dog I would say you are more lightly to be bitten by the other breed when seperating them.

Carrying one round isn't necessarily bad and could just be seen as a precaution... just in case. For instance perhaps another dog attacks your Pitbull and your dog defends itself and then won't let go.

It would be bad carrying one around knowing you are likely to need to use it because your dog is uncontrollably aggressive. A dog like that should be at least muzzled or preferably not out and about at all.

When found he should be made to shoot the dog and then he should be kneecapped and not entitled to NHS care or any benefits.

Harsh but fair.
 
When I read this yesterday it made me so angry - poor woman must have been terrified, as must her lab, poor thing - sorry but Id just love to give that guy a good kicking.

However I've friends who have staffies etc and they are lovely, soft, adorable things, they just need extra attention, training and handling, plus a respect and regard of other people and their dogs - poor thing will probably get put down due to his **** of a master! Can this ****** be put down instead?
 
This is a result of poor training. I can't imagine many chavs provide the proper training these dogs need.
 
I've said this is many dog related threads, but I don't believe there is a dog that I would call a lost cause enough to have it killed. Sadly dogs have become a fashion accessory and the people that treat them as such are the ones who end up on the news with half their kids face hanging off.
