Reilly was ATTACKED

[dukedogsmom]

I wouldn't think big dogs were even allowed there. Usually in apartments. they're not. I would have been livid. If the girl knew she couldn't control the dog. she shouldn't have been walking him in the first place. I'd check with management of having that big a dog there. I'm glad Reilly is alright and sorry your mom got hurt. Hopefully. they won't even be able to get back the dog. I feel bad for the dog. too, because it's not his fault.

OH my goodness Marti!!! I am in tears as I read this. I am so sorry this happened to Reilly and you and your mom! I hope you are all okay and that the attacker will not be able to hurt Reilly again. I shudder to think of what might have happened had you not been home. Your poor mother.
I'm glad to hear Reilly appears to be fine, just a bit shaken. And I hope your moms leg is okay too.
HUGS to all of you!!!

Poor Reilly! I hope they are not allowed to have their dog back - they clearly how no idea how to look after it

Hope this horrible event doesn't stay with you for too long

Poor Reilly. I'm glad he's okay though. *HUGS* to you both.

I wouldn't think big dogs were even allowed there. Usually in apartments. they're not.

Well, Kia is considered a big dog and because of it, it was very hard to find an apartment. So yes, some apartments do allow "big" dogs. But once again bad owners ruin it for the rest.

Thank you all so much, he is still pretty shaken up, but I think with alot of lovin from mommy and daddy he will be just fine, we are probably spoiling him more but instead of him being in his own bed today, we let him sleep up on the bed with us, he snuggled up to us for most of the day. We both work nights so that is why we sleep during the day..lol
We are defintely going to speak with the manager on monday morning, I know that some breeds they do not allow here, and I think they just take the person's word for what kind of dog they have, etc. that is not acceptable at all, especially after what happened.
I feel terrible for this poor dog, he was being a dog and doing what he had no idea was a bad thing to do, I even told the officer last night I truly hope something can be worked out for him so he is not put down, that is the last thing that I want. It is just a horrible situation all the way around.

What a weird thing to happen. I'm glad Reilly and your mom are okay. It's sad that the owner of that dog wasn't being more responsible.

[Karen]

How sad, that that dog has had no training, and no vet care, either! And how scary fo all of you. I hope he can get a better home, if need be. American Bulldogs are big 'ol' stubborn lugs, but they ARE trainable. Like any breed of dog, they need the right owner, and this one obviously hasn't got one!

[shepgirl]

Very scary story...I hope all of you are doing better and getting back to normal after this scare. If the people have to pay $200. to get him back, plus probably a series of shots I have a feeling they won't want to take him back. They don't sound like the kind of owners who would care to spend that much on a dog.

[Catty1]

That girl's mother needs a reality check too - it's fine that she was angry at her daughter about having the dog out - but NO SHOTS???

I hope that dog gets a great home with people who will take him to a training course. Not the pup's fault!


I'm glad to hear Reilly is settling a bit, and hope he is back to himself very soon.

I'm so sorry to hear that this happened and in your own home too. I'm glad that Reilly will be okay. I also agree that this other dog needs proper vet care, training, and a new loving family that knows how to care for him.
