Aggressive dog Charges...What do you do ?? - Page 2

I did not say RUNNING and chomped from behind...  I said chomped from behind,  the running bunny rabbit was meant to set up the "going away" 

gsdlvr2 I NEVER implied she did anything wrong,  a child being bitten from behind is a scarry thing... 4pack I give you kudos,  I would have been stompin on that lady !   Your poor daughter !!

so how I understand 4packs description is that she was NOT looking or facing the dog...  (still not implying she did anything wrong)  and then the dog bit.  That was what I meant by the running bunny.   Nothing more !!

4pack I am truly sorry your daughter had to go through that,  Please know I was not implying she had done anything wrong !!!    I would NEVER.

Did I read that right, above....the child went into the yard of the dog, and the dog bit her, and it's the woman's fault that owns the dog for not having a fence?

I say the parents should watch their children better. The dog was trying to do his job. And, this is NOT a confident dog. A real dog might just watch the child and care less, not a real threat. A dog that comes at the child from the rear is a fear biter. It purposely snuck up on this child because a frontal attack was asking for too much confidence. But, it's in it's own yard.

At the risk of opening a can of worms, which I swear is not my intention, there are similarities here between this and the Max dog incident.

1. LEO enters yard, dog is tied up, bites officer, people say officers fault.

2. child enters yard, dog is tied up, bites child, people say dog owners fault.

Now, don't freak out, I'm not trying to start a big argument, I promise. Just talking. So, let's stay civil.

hello????  child did not know that dog was there!!!!!!

big difference

I'm not freaking out, seriously.  Yes, the second I saw the initial post, I knew where it would lead. (Echo?????????????????) (LOL).

4pack----Now if I was a skeptic, I'd have to wonder about that ER trip, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. (LOL)

I have had this happen, twice while doing GSD rescue. No control over either situation. Owner let year old dog out of the back of her car, against my instruction and the dog came at me across a parking lot full out attack and lucky for me only grabbed my arm. I was wearing steel toed boots, and was able to disengage the dog and place my foot in his mouth, when he came back at me to bite again, while yelling to the owner to retrieve her dog. Turned out later, the dog was an absolute sweetheart, just had really bad training.

 The other incident was with the same owner, but with a different dog, supposedly trained. A totally different time, different setting, and the dog came charging at me. The weird thing is, this dog always liked me and I had never had a problem with him previously. He was out for blood...mine. I stood perfectly still, turned my head away and yelled Douvet! Luckily as he took my throat, he heard my command and dropped.

 As the manager of a local shelter, which sees several aggressive breeds weekly, either by owner surrender or ACO drop off, at least at work I have lots of items I can use, thankfully at work I have never been bitten.
