WillyBob Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 maybe I overstated "bite".... he did nip/snap at ya. And he WOULD grab your hand if you touched his tail. as a child, my folks had a GermanShepard/Alsayshun[?] She kept us in the yard and protected. If we were playing rough with other kids, dog had to be inside. She didn't bite... nip, yes. we have a bevy of feline watchers now. They are very alert to things. Except the deaf our one. She "sees" things beside not hearing much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlthess40 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'm not talking about a nip. If a dog attacks a child it's got to go.Why should a dog if it was Attacked or grossly miss treated by a kid , it’s not the animals fault , it’s the kids fault if he did something wrong to the dogsomeone’s view or thoughts that are so broadly put out there about if a dog nips or bite someone , and says ( it’s got to go ) how about looking at the full circumstances and what led up to the initial nip or bite I was also raised with the full of thought of if the dog bits me because I pulled on his tail or you’re kicked him or something , which I’ve never done . my dad would ask me. what did you do to make the dog bite you ?I guess what I’m getting to you is don’t always blame the animals, There’s always two sides to a coinSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 True, but would your dad ask what did you do to your murderer to get them to murder you? And what is the appropriate way to deal with them now? Maybe that's the third side of the coin (the edge, lol). Remember the Simpson's episode where Bart gets a pet elephant? The obvious issues of keeping it led to them donating it to the animal sanctuary. Well, good old Stampy was running amok there too so Bart asked the keeper why. The keeper said: some elephants are just jerks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdnfay1 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 This is Geena. She is a rescue. She was a couple of months old when I got her. Think she's a pitt/sheperd/lab mix. not really sure. An excellent friend and companion. She watches TV with me and barks at every dog that pops up, even animated. Something about Dachounds gets her really riled up. Would not want to be on the recieving end of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the mail man was delivering a package to your house and was viciously attacked? What if the nurse going to your house to provide care to your invalid mother was maimed? Let me ask you this. Say there's a drowning child and drowning dog in the water. You can only save one, which one do you choose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Is the dog attacking you in the water? Is the kid a total jerk? Why did the kid provoke the gator by acting like food? So many questions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People tend to anthropomorphize dogs and put them on par with humans as far as the value of their lives go. It's an absolutely ridiculous concept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fellow cyclist told me a story of an event that she claimed to have witnessed. A cyclist is riding along a suburban road; a little dog comes running out of the front yard to intercept said cyclist. The dog gets caught in the spokes of the front wheel, wherein it rides around until it encounters the fork legs. Front wheel stops instantly, throwing the cyclist over the handlebars. Dog's owner comes running up to the scene, yelling, "Are you all right? Are you all right?" Scoops-up the dog and runs back into the house, leaving the cyclist crumpled on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
