*~*Irresponsible Dog Owner*~*

This blog entry was shown to my Mummy by Mashiro's Mummy (PS) last night and she got kinda agitated by some dog owners who are simply irresponsible.

It's an incident of a GSD who are unleashed and bit another dog who is walking in the park.

Actually the same thing would have happened to me if Daddy hadn't protected me from that GSD (German Shepherd Dog). This happened quite some time ago.....

I was having my regular walk in the evening, while walking back, I was like in between my parents, Daddy's in front and Mummy's behind, it was then Mummy looked behind her and saw this GSD was out on the road running and NO LEASH, nobody's around. It was then Mummy quickly informed (almost shouting) Daddy that the GSD is coming towards us, quickly to carry me up. Soon she saw the maid behind chasing after the GSD and he ran past us but saw ME... therefore he U-turned dashed towards us, (why is the maid SO SLOW N FAR AWAY!!!!) Mummy & Daddy didnt manage to get the gate opened, and ended up, the GSD start pounding on my Daddy (coz Daddy's carrying me) and snapped a few times. In order to protect me, he got snapped ard the elbow area by the GSD. Everything happened so fast, Mummy's not sure to kick the dog anot as she know it's someone's prevcious too. Surprisingly, both the maid and the owner is here, and the owner is standing at least a meter away looking, the maid tried to leash up the GSD n pull him away.

Owner kept asking if Daddy's ok, and apolgize (which felt like the sake of it). Luckily no puncture but looked as though the elbow's being skinned. Daddy went to the hospital for a jab after that. I don't know what will happen to me if I were still on the floor. The owner didnt even bother to offer any compensation or even to ask how was my Daddy. What a irresponsible owner!!!

They don't wish to report them as they're for sure the dog will be put to sleep as that wasn't the first case already. There was one of the late night the GSD ran out of the house too, but luckily no casualties. One of our neighbours who kept a JRT got attacked by that GSD before. Dragged the maid on the road just to chase after a cat. How untrained this GSD is.

If they're unsure about the breed and unable to control it... PLS DO NOT KEEP A GSD or similar category OR EVEN UNLEASH. It's dangerous for other people. GSD can be really helpful being a guard dog, but it's dangerous to keep one which is not well-trained. There are too many irresponsible owners which spoils the reputation of the dogs. It actually applied to all dogs, even a tiny little dog who is untrained can hurt other people or dogs, it's the damage that are different.

To me, it's not the dogs' fault, it's the owner.
