    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    That is horrible for that to have happened to you, your family, and your poor Reilly. I'm hope your mom will be ok and Reilly will not have any lingering anxiety because of this attack.

    Please don't blame the dog breed on the problem. The problem is due to the owners neglect in training, controling their dog, and not having proper vaccinations done. This could happen with any breed of dog. Please don't let some very bad owners sour your opinon of an entire breed of dog though.

    I'm sorry this happened, but I hope you don't emphasize breed and size when you see the landlord or manager. Any breed can attack. It would be unfair to owners of good dogs if they couldn't get a place to live because of one bad apple. Proof of vaccinations is a great idea though.

    This happened right in your own home?!? That's really shocking. thanks goodness you are all alright. I would be livid too.
    If people can't afford vet care, and don't want the time & expense of training them, they shouldn't have dogs, period. They're getting off easy with a $200. fine, if you ask me. I hope you mom doesn't have any complications. The other dog's owners should be liable for her doctor's visits, too.
