taylor Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 What do you think of this guys ? Walking the dogs today Paddywak was dragging behind a bit and got attacked by a dog. It had him on his back on the floor and really got him till he screamed. The reason ... because It was sat on a park bench with its owner and he got a little too close. I am so angry , it really upset him and he now has a puncture wound on his back. I looked towards the owner who said "she was guarding the bench" ... not a "sorry" or a "is he ok???" Im too nice and now wish i had punched the woman square in the jaw I feel like going back up there and attacking her ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im too nice and now wish i had punched the woman square in the jaw I feel like going back up there and attacking her ! That is just absolutely ridiculous!! :mad: A dog has got NO business "guarding" a bench in a public park! I'd love to go back to the park and park a fist in her stupid gob, but there are a good few reasons why you wouldn't want to do that What I would do is report her to the dog/park warden first thing tomorrow morning. I hate it when people say this, as if a dog's life in itself isn't valuable enough, but if you tell them that the dog next time might well be "guarding" the park bench against a small child that comes too close then they might actually shift their back sides. As for Paddywak, how is he? If he's got a puncture wound I might want to pop in to the vet's with him tomorrow to have it examined and also noted on his file that he's been attacked. to both of you.

Shame on the stupid woman though. I would try and find her and tell her she has a vet bill to pay Maybe she will keep her dog under control in future.

Careli Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I'm sorry to hear about paddywack, it must have been very upsetting for you both. It is very easy to look back in hindsight and think I should have said this or I should have done that. I hope paddywack is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melissa Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Poor Paddywack how ridiculous saying he was guarding the bench & no apology?! It is terrifying when another dog goes for yours (or the other way around) but unfortunately this woman just didn't seem to care - shame on her for not at least trying to make sure Paddywack was ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylor Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Iv written a letter to the park , see what you think ? Dear Sir or madam I am writing in the hope that you will rectify this situation as soon as possible. I was walking in Warley woods on the afternoon of April 27th and my little dog was attacked by a dog belonging to one of the people taking part in your cleaning up the woods programme. My dog is not the type to cause problems and was innocently walking past a bench where your “helper†was sitting with her dog. Her dog then launched itself at my little dog and gave him a puncture wound in his back before pushing him to the ground, banging his head off the concrete and making him scream with fear. As I looked towards the owner confused she explained it away by saying “ he came too close to the bench which she was sitting on†I am disgusted with her response. The excuse that she made for that behaviour is sickening , does that mean that if a toddler wandered up to her and said dog the animal would be justified in attack. It is a public park and I expect myself, and my innocent animals to be safe in that park. I am considering taking further action against either yourselves or the guilty party. I am very angry about the fact that you allow such irresponsible people to act on your behalf I will await your response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brierley Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Perhaps include a description of the woman and the dog in case more than one helper takes their dog along with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ailsas mum Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 There's no way you let paddywack down, you weren't to know that the dog was going to do that , I hope he's feeling better this morning. That's a really good letter and I will keep everything crossed that they know who the woman is. I've got a s*** temper and I would have been arrested for whapping her one.
