kimba Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Im not letting that go. Let us correct this to a very very small minority shall we!Well you may call it a very very small minority but lets look at how many people altogether get bitten, not just kids... Every year dogs attack 200,000 people in the UK http://www.simpsonmillar.co.uk/services/personalinjury/dog-bites-bitten-by-dog.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trail master Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 so you should just leave the child on the floor next to an agressive dog insted of trying to get them out of harms way? No,you should put yourself between the dog and the child so you are in a position to best defend an attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No,you should put yourself between the dog and the child as I have already said.You are in a far better position to fend off an attack if you are not carrying something(or someone).

Iuchi_Zien Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 If a dog aproached my two children in an aggressive manner it will have a short sharp arguemnet with my steel to caps and I won't be pulling my blows. If the owner wishes to continue the argument my steel toe caps are happy to continue. I really don't give a flying punk whether dogs need exercise or socialising if your dog is likely to behave in an aggressive or dangerous manner it is YOUR duty to maintain control of it. If you are incapable of that you shouldn't be in control of a goldfish let alone a dog. I would also add if you are illiterate and incapable of understanding signs saying "Dogs must be kept on a leash" your dog should be removed from your ownership and you should be prevented from owning a dog. I almost burst out laughing when some illiterate cretin nearly had their Jack Russell drowned by a very picked off Canada goose who took offence at the owner ignoring such a sign.

Moonbird Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I bet the OP is laughing their cotton cocks off, talk about light the blue touch paper stand back and watch, no one here except possibly the OP knows what the dog was behaving like and they don't seem to want to tell us. I would be ashamed to brag about my strike first ask questions later mentality on here (if I had one) but others seem to think it makes them look hard in some way...really it doesn't, really its a bit sad, not aimed at anyone in particular, just saying.

I really don't give a hoot whether I appear to be 'looking hard' or not, my childrens safety comes first. I don't care if it was a dog, cat, person or tree that threatened my children. I am not going to go all PC about it 'not the dogs fault it's the owner', the dog is the one which would be threatening my children and the dog will be the first to feel the impact of my size 11 steel toecap. I assume you would allow your child to get bitten, with all the risks that that entails rather than hurt the poor pooch, after all it's not the dogs fault. Here comes the three day ban for arguing with a moderator!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its instinct to protect your child when confronted with anything of an unpredictable nature that invades your space, man, woman or beast. A child has every right to feel protected and if your the sort of parent/person to let a child get worried by a dog when you can do something about it then its negligent, cruel and should be a shameful. No one is saying anything to look 'ard' or shouldn't be, people speak from the heart when it comes to the protection of children, they act and later worry about the outcome of those actions. No one knows the full picture of what went off bar the OP, but the title of the topic is about protecting a child from a dog with 'threatening' behavior, so what else do you want people to talk about ? Parents are going to show empathy for the OP. Just look at the links and the statistics about dogs biting children and tell me its worth the risk.
