Aww how sad  I saw something awful happen at services, travelling from France to England. A young man had a yorkshire terrier and there were two guys with greyhounds. There was a kerfuffle, lots of shouting and screaming (hot summers day with plenty of people around) and the terrier was in the mouth of one of the greyhounds, his owner trying to open his mouth to release it. The little dog died The girlfriend of the young man came out of the services and started going hysterical. I don't know what happened after that, people were still shouting and telling them to call the police. I still wonder if it was all real or there were tv camera's hidden in the bushes. It certainly looked real. |

One problem I find with many people with strong dogs is that they all think that their dogs are lovely fluffy sweeties and wouldn't hurt a fly. I wouldn't trust my Biggles 100% but then again he couldn't do much harm as he is titchy but he could kill a mouse or something else that is smaller. He is an animal after all. Even though a big dog may not have bitten ever so far it doesn't mean that they never will. I fell out with someone last year because I wouldn't let them bring their Staffie when they visited. It wasn't that I didn't like their dog but sometimes Biggles growls at other dog in fear I guess. That might be just enough to get a bitey reaction from the Staff and as we all know little Biggles is not big enough to withstand such a bite and then it would be bye bye Biggles. Shan't say what my reaction would be.......

Both accounts refer to more than one dog attacking another. The 'pack' mentality of multiple dogs is stronger, with an assumed 'guard' role.
And if the 'pack' leader is weak this is more so. Agree that the problem starts with fluffy-wuffy doggy woggy attitudes of the owners. The dogs take on too much authority for their behaviour....
Practically, I'd avoid confrontations with multiple dogs. And not allow mine on the sofa....

Horrible.
My first little Jack Russell was killed in front of me by 4 greyhounds, on leads but no muzzles. They broke her neck. It has stayed with me ever since to the point that I fear loose dogs and fear other dogs approaching mine.
This little border is luckier than she thinks.

How absolutely awful Ali. I am surprised you haven't needed psychotherapy after that. Dreadful.

This was a dreadful thing to have happened .... my immediate gut reaction was that the staffies should have been put down. But then, realised that I have no idea of what triggered the attack. Really hope the little dog recovers well. Ali .... how awful for you, and your little dog. Big  to you. x |

Once a dog has attacked they should be either put down or ALWAYS wear a muzzle and be kept on a lead. Unless of course they have bitten a person who has goaded them.
