Sam was attacked by a dog

[K9karen]

Sorry, I've been off the computer a few days, and just saw this.

The picture of Sam broke my heart. Oh, poor, innocent dear. I hope he recovers quickly.

Mz Logan is a sweetie, but there are times when I over rough house, or bother her and she'll give a growl warning. Since she can't stand up and bop me on the head with a hammer, I take it seriously. I've had a few deep bites from not heeding her warning. In Pa., if it's your dog that attacked you, there is no need for a police or AC report. So, of course any dog can "attack".

Having been through a vicious dog attack, unprevoked, and seriously hurt, I wouldn't give the owner an ounce of pity. Sorry to sound heartless. The neighbor was a nice guy, we said hello, we waved etc., but he was a lousy dog owner and even worse property maintainer.

I know you don't want to get the guy in trouble. He gave you some money. That's real nice. How would you feel if Sam was killed? It's every owner's responsibility to follow city, township, state laws. Are you going to be afraid to walk your dogs? How will Sam react? I think you should have made a police or AC report. In PA, my neighbor got to keep his dogs, but they could only be outside, leashed with the owner at all times, and muzzled.

I guess this incident hit home to me, as a human, and I don't want anything ugly to happen to your sweet babies.
Gentle kisses on Sam.

Gosh, your poor Sam. I'm very glad to hear that he's feeling a little better. I have to say I'm very surprised that the owner has already paid you some, that's really good.
Many hugs and kisses to your sweet Sam.

kuhio98-wow, I can't imagine. I don't think I'd ever own a dog after that.

After Gypsy died (my cockapoo that I was playing with when attacked), we've never had another dog. I'm not scared of them anymore -- and I prefer big dogs over little -- but Bobcat and I are definitely "cat people".

I'm so glad Sam is healing well. I hope he isn't afraid of other dogs after this.
