Soul got hurt again...

[DrNiblik]

No... I say that because my niece was attacked my a rott when she was sitting in her own backyard palting with her dolls (the rott jumped the fence to get at her) and one of my mom's cats was attacked by a pitt while she was sitting on the porch. If I hadn't been sitting near by my mom's cat would have been killed. As I said though, blame the owners who like the idea of a "tough" dog. Surely the media doesn't help the reputation though. I am glad that your rottie is a sweet dog, but there are a helluva a lot of them that aren't and you can thank their owners for that.

There are FAR more bitting/attacking goldens, labs, cockers, border collies & other so called Family dogs. I watch those breeds the most when on a walk, but I don't judge a dog until I meet him/her.

I've been bitten by a Border Collie (caused 7 stitches), brought down by 2 not so friendly goldens (each grabbed a leg & pulled.. nearly forgot about these to dogs), bitten in the face by some sort of water dog, a smooth collie (a lassie type of dog) did its darnest to tear me from limb to limb while I was in my yard pulling trees from inbetween the garage & our fence (it nearly attacked a baby!! Luckly we saw the dog trying to get to the baby & snatched the baby up, once again we were in our fenced in yard). A Newfy chewed my hand (he was being abused & the owhers didn't know it so when I went to pet him like I did evey week he bit me several times). Lots of other dogs.

I was even pitten by a pit bull by accident, if a dog could cry he would have. Sure I had 2 quarter sized bruses, but an accidental bite is different then an angrer bite. I had my Ribs cage broken (my chest looks odd now) by a 200p Rottie. Once again it was an accident & he became protective of me while I was squirming on the ground (that sucked as I would have liked to have had help), he even told his owner to back off (he was a trained guard dog & was my buddy so he knew something was wrong with me & didn't want anyone to hurt me so he stood near me (he was a good boy).


I Still love dogs, I get a little scared when a charging, barking or snarling dogs does that to me, as well duh, anyone would be, but I don't disslike any of them.

that's terrible! poor Soul.

i can't believe someone would bring a dangerous dog like that to the park.

I know... it's sad because surprising some people will judge Sam if they've been been biten by a Cocker. Too bad... most are just the sweetest. I wish everyone knew the reality that its the owners fault and not the dog's.

Well, DrNiblik, I understand kind of why you don't like those particular breeds, but it was not the dogs fault, it was the owners...I am not going to say anymore though, it would not be nice.

I am so glad that Soul is doing better! Poor baby, I don't understand why someone would possibly think that they could bring in a dog agressive dog like that.
I will be keeping Soul in my thoughts for a quick recovery, and better luck with dogs (although I would not recommend bringing her to the park unless knowing who is there, and that Soul will be safe!)
