Sionnach said.....
By an odd coincidence, this picture was just re-run in the paper today........ _________________________ Sionnach, That picture of a 3rd Pit bull, attacking a dog being walked by his owner, sent a chill up my spine, and I hope I am never in that position with any of mine. Unlike the man in the photo, who was walking two a a time. I usually only walk one at a time. I am not that sure footed these days anyways, my dogs always walk well on a leash, but if they were confronted by another dog. I just don't know what I would do. Be Free.....Judy |

: Especially for those that walk multiple dogs - is that a help or destined to doom? Well, if we were attacked, it would be doom. When we've seen loose dogs, we turn and walk the other way. This works well when the dog is protecting his/her property. Loose dogs off their property? It could be awful. Where I live, we have a pretty well-respected leash law, backed up by fines (which are really levied and tracked by the homeowner's association). So there aren't as many incidents. I think if it happened, I'd try to get inside the nearest fence (which could introduce an entirely new problem). It would be much worse handling three dogs than one dog in this scenario, but Zoe was one time attacked quite viciously by a Great Pyrenees (not while we were on a walk) and there was nothing I could do about that -- luckily the owner called the dog off. I always felt terrible about that, the fact that I couldn't protect Z from everything. Although now when we see strange dogs or other people, I do have her come to my side and "protect" me. I think the GP would have been less likely to attack in that scenario (but who knows). If I were walking Max on his own, I would just pick him up if a dog was charging us. But with the other two, I can't do that. Maybe carrying some kind of spray would be a good idea. -- Catherine & Zoe, Queenie, & Max, 3 black dogs of varying sizes & Rosalie the calico cat www.ourladyofperfection.blogspot.com |
