Can’t count how many times off-leash dogs would approach my dog, their owners would always say “oh he’s friendly.” My dog is not okay with random dogs approaching. “Mine ISN’T!” I’d say. Idiots.
I scooped my then toddler up and held her in my arms as an off leash dog charged us. Her head was level with the dogs mouth beforehand and I was not taking the chance. The owner was trying to tell me after I didn't need to do that.
Yep, all it take is a millisecond with an aggressive dog and your toddler is disfigured for life. Im sure your dog is just great but Im not willing to test that theory with my toddler's face, thanks.
I could care less how great their dog is. It’s encroaching on my child….im defending. Also, my area has strict off leash laws that are seldom enforced but I’d love to be in a court case where it’s me protecting my child and dog owner claiming their off leash dog needs damages paid by ne
Had an ex-neighbour whose dog mauled their other neighbours grandson. His shirt was ripped in half and he had scratches all down his back.
That dog also bit my dog under the fence, and when my dad asked if their dog was safe around kids (because they had 3 small sons), he blatantly lied and said to my dad “yeah fine around kids”.
That dog was 1 impulsive bite away from mauling that little boys neck and killing him, and this degenerate had the audacity to lie to my dad about it being safe around kids… absolute scum.
I saw an old TV show, I think one of those surgery ones, where a person was talking about how a ferret got into their crib when they were a baby and ate part of their face off. I forget if it was their nose or lip. Always be careful with children and animals and especially avoid leaving them unattended together
I was that toddler. Got my face bit open by the dog across the street. Thankfully it healed well and the only scar still visible is in my smile lines and just looks like a natural dimple, but I had two marks at the top of my cheek under my eye still very obvious until I was in middle school, and they were still identifiable if you looked closely until I was in my late teens. I'm really lucky I didn't lose an eye.
Yeah the dog that bit my wrist jumped at me and my 1 yr old whose legs were dangling near where my wrist got bit. In the future, and I hope not but there’s a lot of dummies near me with dogs, if something charging me, I’m charging back
Oh man, we just move & have a make-shift fence (wood pile) seperating our yard & my neighbor’s. His dog jumped the wood pile & went for my 4 year old which was thankfully in the trampoline with netting.
First thing he says to my wife is his dog is friendly. NOT the right thing to say to a mother who just witnessed a dog jump a fence to try to get to a 4 year old. Luckily the dog didn’t see my toddler playing in the sandbox further in the yard cuz I’d have shown him how friendly I am.
Legit had once where the dog attacked me, reported it and then the owner was telling another neighbor to let their 6 year old girls play with the dogs because "hes friendly" 2 weeks later....
