Dog gone.

[Big Dave]

Just for those following the story - The Pitt bull that savaged my young bloke has been put down.
Owner apparently came to senses and surrendered it to be destroyed and appologised to Matt.
'Bout f'in' time - but score one for common decency.

Jnr's handled himself quite admirably through a tough ordeal too.

Moving on.

[Scorpygirl]

Awesome news Dave. At least that is one dog that won't live to see another day!!! :bye:

[ogr1]

Good news, hope your young un makes a full recovery, pity they could'nt put the owner down too!

Dogs......... who f@@kin needs em?

[yungatart]

Thats great news indeed, hope your son and his gf are well on the way to recovery

[Karma]

Dogs......... who f@@kin needs em?

[Edbear]

Thanks for the update, BD. Glad commonsense prevailed.

[Colapop]

good news to that BD

Owners ultimately need to be held accountable for their dogs actions, as the lively discussion in the original thread came to the conclusion.

I love dogs and will always have them .. do i need them .. hmm prob not but I love them. I am a responsible owner along with hundreds of others, therefore I know where my dogs are 24/7 no exceptions.

we had also determined in the previous posting minority wreck it for the majority of responsible owners

[ogr1]

Without sounding too ars'ey here..............
Every pet owner in the world probably boasts about being responsible with their pet(s), it's only when something like this occurrs and society points the finger, then the owner realise's they are not as responsible as they first thought.

Good to hear about that dave :niceone:
Hope your son isnt afraid of dogs now.

[Brian d marge]

It seems that this topic is all the go in London to , Just listening to the radio and the topic is Gangs of Hoodies with dangerous dogs that are being used as wepons
One interesting thing that has been mentioned is that the dog in peter pan was a staffy , turns out that these dogs were used to look after children a few years back .

Stephen

glad all was sorted in the end .
( wonder if the owners will get another dog??? )

Nah - he's cool - he knows how to deal to 'em. Don't f*** with Jnr, fido.

(i watched him with our mutt and he's unchanged.)

thanks all too.

Good news Dave but "the end of the matter?" You can't keep dwelling on whats past but there must be more accountability than simply putting the dog down and apologizing!
Your boy and your family have been through some serous shit through no fault of their own, the dog owners must have more accountability than that.
Does ACC prevent any further retribution being taken against them?
Just doesn't seem enough to me. Concerned rather than stirring. :shutup: Cheers John.

Well done matey

Yeah - my understanding is he/they still have to face 3 charges to be brought by the council. - one of them sounds serious. (or 2 if you are a cat person).

the cynic in me says that current events may be related to those future proceedings - or getting it to court.

My wife's uncle had a Staffy years back,before the ugly good natured Staffy became ''tough''.He was a headmaster,in fact the big Chief Headmaster for Intermedite Schools - he would of been horrified to think the dog would of been a danger to kids.I remember it lying in front of the fire with the kids like a big fat cat.

[justsomeguy]

So how is he doing now - his injuries all healed up or are there any long term damages, apart from some "camp fire tale" scars?

[Big Dave]

He's still got some dressings on his hands and legs but nothing long term.
The dog however is farked - Don't mess with Jnr, Fido.

Awesome stuff. It's all in the past now and he is a stronger fella for it.... not to mention the hero "love" he's gonna get for saving his girl from the dog.

Yep, sounds ars'ey alright...
From my experience most pets are far better behaved than most kids. Sure there are irresponsible pet owners...just as there are irresponsible parents (no reference meant towards this particular case). No one seems to give a shit about 8-12 year olds running amuck at midnight terrorising the elderly, train commuters, vandalising etc. Go and look at some of the parents: yard overgrown (can't look after plants), dog/cat out of control (can't look after an animal) but they are still allowed to have children when they have proven they aren't capable or willing to look after much simpler organisms. So what happens to the 8-12yr olds? We just take 'em straight back to the fuck-up factory that produced 'em in the first place...home.
No legislation seems targeted at obviously negligent parents yet we are targeting pet owners...who presents the greater risk to society?

[SARGE]

they need to put the owner down too..


im free thursday morning ..

[Big Dave]

Nip around to haldanes and replace that blinker for me please.

[Macktheknife]

Glad to hear it came out well in the end BD, how is your son now? His GF is ok too? are they also happy with the news?
I hope this brings the matter to a peaceable close for you all.

Yeah thanks, they are OK.
Sounds like a conclusion for them - the council now has the next say.
Jnr is even OK with the neighbours - his old man is less charitable.

Did they at least offer for you to do the job with the Uly? Might have taken one or two runs though :nono:

I can't get mad at the dumb animal - it's been selectively bred by humans to be a fuck up - not its fault.
It's the people who turned them into what it is and whoever was the complete fucking idiot who made them lawful in NZ in the first place that I'd like a word with.

[mstriumph]

i like the TITLE of this thread!!


:sherlock: hmmmmmm - must be a journo. or sumpthin .........

:o

[Rashika]

I can't get mad at the dumb animal - it's been selectively bred by humans to be a fuck up - not its fault. It is... and it is a shame it gets to bear the brunt of the punishment.

yup...
Glad to hear they did the halfway decent thing in the end, and that Jnr is still ok with dogs. :yes:

Spoke to a neighbour on monday morning who had a pittyX attack her dog, and another in the street last week. Her dog is okay, damaged and with a few vet bills, but dont think the other smaller dog was as lucky. The main reason her dog survived? It was a Staffy.
As hard as it sounds sometimes I am glad to have a dog that could at least protect itself (to a certain extent anyway) if attacked... pisses me off that she may have to cos of someone elses ignorance.

[Deano]

Awesome news Dave. At least that is one dog that won't live to see another day!!! :bye:

Unfortunately there isn't much stopping the owner from going out and getting another, with potentially similar consequences.

I've heard of owners being prevented by law from owning further dogs after a history of irresponsibility - perhaps that penalty should be dished out more often.

Chuck 'em in a yard full of other people's deranged pitt bulls for 10 minutes too.

Hold that thought. You're currently at Option 7.

Too late "Weasel" beat ya to it :nya:

[Big Dave]

What is it with this kid and dogs?!!?!
Dressings are off - 3.2 weeks after the attack.

[Motu]

Yikes,nasty....

I was reminded of this attack last night.....the Pit Bull attacks recently all seem to involve a cat.So last night I walked outside to go around the front of the house to get something out of my Pajero which was on the front lawn.It's very dark outside around this way,but a local white mother cat trotted up to see me - I'm not sure who's she is,even if she's owned,but she has two kittens too.Anyway,she thinks I'm a cool dude and I scooped her up and walked down the drive....then she stiffens and gives a growl.I look over next door,and amongst the cars and junk I see a dog looking through the broken fence....wide forehead and a pink nose.Oh shit,this might not be a good position to be in is a passing thought....I put the cat down and scoot her under the Pajero for protection,then turn and tell the dog to bugger off! She ambled down the drive and I see she's a nursing mother....that was a relief,but it was a hard task for a few microseconds thinking up a contingency plan.Sometimes it doesn't take much to be in the wrong place at the wrong time holding the wrong baby.
