My puppy Rusty attacked by pitbull at the park
 

He is OK but man my heart is still pounding, poor Rusty was squealing like a wounded pig and his head covered in blood but he is fine now. We were at an offleash park and this fuckwit dog just latched onto Rusty's head. Luckily his woolly coat protected him to a degree. Here is a thread with Rusty's pics.

Sorry to hear, next time take a gun and shoot the pitbull.

Ah poor lil fella..he's adorable.hope he gets over it quickly.avoid those parks if you can

for doing what dogs do in a place made for it ? :error

if you take a dog to an offleash park with other dogs then you have to accept there will be dog fights.

it would be like going to an "alcohol ok beach" during spring break and wondering why you got into a fight.

that fucking sucks.

i just came back from teh doggie park because some jack ass decided to bring his large dogs in the small dog section and ruined it for everyone.

both my dog and i got scared and left after only being there for 30 seconds.

That sucks...I am sorry. As far as the bad pit bull.....just a bad owner.

Have to say I agree, I took Rusty there every day for the past few months and always felt I was playing russian roulette with him and the other dogs. It was my choice to take that risk as I felt it is good for him to hang out and play with the other dogs. Think I'll steer clear now. Just not sure why people have these killing machines....:Oh crap

dog parks are nothing but trouble in my opinion.

NO NO NO... every dog park i have ever been to clearly states that aggressive dogs are not welcome...

a well trained dog will not attack.. fucking white trash comes to these parks with their inbred pit bulls...

i would have beat the fuck out of that guy if i were you... :2 cents:

zOMG cutest puppy I have seen since I got mine ;)

I have 2 doggies now and they both play fight, but neither one would ever hurt the other. No need to goto a dog park. Have no interest in having to deal with other people that might not have controled their dog properly. :disgust

I'm not a huge dog fan but you're dog is cute. Looks like a stuffed animal. Glad he/she/it is ok.

That sucks.. glad he is ok. He is adorable!

I had a similiar experience with a doberman pinscher. The dog ended up biting me instead. The owner thought it was funny until Bruce almost tore his head off.

My girl had to stop taking our Jack Russell/Shih Tzu terrier mix to the park when we first got him because he would spontaneously attack any dog that was bigger than him. (He was a rescue and must have had some bad experiences on the street). Some days he was okay and other days he was like Kimbo Slice on steroids.

During his reign of terror he did kick much pedigree ass, but didn't draw any blood, thankfully.

It all boils down to responsibility, some owners just don't know how to handle their pets.

That sounds terrible. I am happy to hear he is ok though.

Dog parks are very dangerous.People let dogs play there that have no business being offleash. Also dog parks cause pack behavior and dogs get seriously hurt.

wow thats brutal, sorry to hear. Glad that rusty made it out relatively ok

Hes 8 months and had all his shots...:) Here he is with his little brother Possum.

Sorry to hear about the little fella. Over here Pit Bulls are one of the few breeds that by law must be muzzled and kept on a leash when in a public place. Shame that wasn't the case over there.

heh , thats like saying if there was a sign at a drunk spring break party saying fighting is not allowed , you wouldnt expect fighting , when i think anyone would understand there will prob still be fighting.

a well trained dog will not attack , most dogs are not well trained and i certainly wouldnt assume every dog at a a dog park would be well trained. Infact i would assume they wouldnt be trained. That being said , the master is the one who's actions i would scrutinize. If the dogs owner ignored the dog and let it go apeshit then by all means get mad at the owner. the dog is just being a dog, it can't help not being trained to be something it isn't
. Most animals fight to get a social ranking. dogs included , smarter animals ( kinda ) like us humans have figured out other ways to decide social ranking. Kinda hard to expect to teach a dog something opposite of that he has been trained for thousand of years.

Most normal size dogs enjoy a little fighting/wrestling, i see no harm in it unless one dog is torturing another , then you blame the owner not the dog. Unless of course the dog collar is around the humans neck

spooky181 - they are a couple of very cute dogs - glad Rusty is ok now!

:thumbsup
p.s. your toothbrush is more likely to kill you than a pitbull.

a coke machine is also more likely to kill you than a pitbull.

almost every meat eating animal is on some level a "killing machine", humans kill alot more people and dogs than dogs do , so really you should be asking your dog why he lets you hang out with hundreds of killing machines :)

Labeling all pitbulls as killers is like labeling all white people as killers, only labeling white people as killers would at least be alot more correct.

dogs are as nasty as their owners, unless its a wild dog then you might have a point , but i dont see many wild pitbulls around my parts .

Basically you took a baby to an all night rave and he got hurt, no suprise, he is a cute dog and i know you meant well but you can prob find better areas to walk him and better friends for dogs. :thumbsup Maybe take your dog on a leash a few times and chat up some of the other owners of nice dogs to get together for a doggie date

Sorry to hear about your dog that definitely sucks. Just curious if you are positive it was a pit bull. Alot of people get pitbulls mixed up with other breeds. Glad the little fella is ok :)

sorry to hear that :(:(:(

That sucks! He's a cute one, for sure!!
;-)

im not sure where you go out, but i spent the weekends on a lot of alcohol OK beaches and never been in a fight nor even seen a fight... dogs can be trained NOT to fight, so its not exactly totally normal either.

Find the owner and beat the shit out of him.

wierd , must be a fluke :)
but its not in their nature..:2 cents: and you wouldnt expect every dog at a dog park to be trained and obey against its own natureal instincts

If you brought your dog to a training class sure. Show me any group of large unleashed dogs, toss in a few bitches in heat and i promise you even the most well trained dog will be scrapping shortly.

I live in a apartment that allows dogs and it seems every other person has a pit bull (exaggerating a little) so I carry a knife with me when walking my dog. I don't know what is up with all the pit bulls. Are they giving them away now or what?

You're dog is just as much of a "killing machine" as that pitbull, so don't start laying the blame on it.

I have a pitbull and a little pocket retarded size dog got to cocky and decided to latch onto her face and rip it up, did she fight back? fuck no... but oh no, wait, shes a pitbull its her fault, shes the "killing machine!" yet its the stupid little dog that did everything and hurt HER.

That's terrible.

The owner MUST accept responsability for this.

Get well soon doggy... :(

That dog has my gf weak at the knees! So damn cute. Hope he's doing ok.

Yeah i'm defo not showing Laura those pics. She will go out and get one next week... :1orglaugh

Well I wish I hadn't showed Angie them now... She's looking around online at dogs :(

Awww I am so sorry! That is scary it happened to my dog once. I have stopped taking her to the park. I am glad Rusty is ok he is so cute!

As much as I agree that little yappy snappy dogs can bite, the are not killing machines. I havent seen too many news stories lately about a Chihuhaua killing a toddler or another dog. Unlike the daily stories of this happening with Pitbulls.:2 cents:

Ps thanks for all the kind thoughts about Rusty he is going great guns....:thumbsup

FUCK Pitbulls. Sure there are bad owners out there, but what about the pit's who DO have good owners? What happens when the nice little pit bull's instincts kick in if he is attacked by another dog? A pit bull has such strong shoulders and jaws that they latch on and don't let go. Often their jaws have to be pried off. They can't help it.

But for people to say that this little dog asked for it is fucking completely assinine.

You're hardly exaggerating. I actually believe that. More than 2/3 of the dogs that end up at our capital city's animal shelter are pit bulls. The people of our capital prefer pit bulls obviously. It's quite sad, even though we are culturally diverse. Many owners want them as guard dogs, and some like to show off their "power" while walking down the street with one. They teach them to be friendly towards family, but hostile towards others. The good owners and their well behaved pit bulls thus suffer.

Just keep in mind the pit bull was once America's favorite dog. If you look at old photographs from the early 20th century you can see families living happily with their pit bull. There was never any problems. The pit bull was even one of the stars of the 1930s short film series OUR GANG (The Little Rascals). But nowadays... there are too many pit bulls... and too many of them being owned by unsavory owners. It's the other end of the leash that is the problem. The pit bull is a very loyal dog, and can be a wonderful pet if under the care by a good owner.

You do know all those stories you hear are from people who raise their pitbulls to be fighting and killing dogs... it could happen to any type of dog, its just pitbulls are a much wiser choice because they are stronger... would you raise a poodle for dog fighting when your oponant has a pitbull?

I've never heard of one story where a good pit bull owned by a good owner caused damage to another dog because he fought back. I'm sure it has happened, but it is rare. All kinds of dog breeds have caused great damage to other dogs in these kinds of situations. Pit bulls have been around for the last few hundred years. The problem only just started in the past 10 years. Look at the bigger picture. Read my post above.

Consider you and your dog lucky.

This is what a pair of pitbulls did to my dog last year.

At the end of it...MONTHS later....Both the pits are dead.

P.S.

Sorry to hear about the attack. I know how bad it sucks. :(

Yup. :thumbsup

ALL dogs attack ALL dogs. I've never been bit by a pit I have been bit by a German Sheppard. Clearly that breed must die. At any rate if that pit wanted to kill his dog his dog would have been dead. By the way the 3 most agressive dogs are actually SMALL dogs. And I'm sure some retard will say something stupid like "a small dog's bite isn't that bad." yeah first try geting bit by one then talk. Second if you happen to be the owner of a small dog that gets attacked by another small dog, guess what, your dog could in fact get killed. Also if a dog is rabid his size doesn't matter. They all will infect you equally if bitten.

I can't believe I just read all that shit and was actually expecting to see a fresh new viewpoint.

Same shit, different thread,

You're turning the tables to suit your own feelings. GatorB's viewpoint is NOT shared by most people. His viewpoint IS refreshing. Most people share your same profiling views of pit bulls. I am very sorry that your dog was attacked. That was a terrible thing to happen to him. And a terrible ordeal for you both to have to go through.

But you stated in the thread you just linked to that you believe the pit bulls were owned by meth addicts. And that the pits had possibly attacked and killed a dog before the attack on your's.

Don't you see? It's always the pit bulls owned by unsavory owners. This happened in the 1970s with the German Shepherd. People wanted that breed banned too. Then it was the Doberman Pinscher in the 80s. The Rottweiller in the 90s... and now it's the Pit bulls. Blame the deed, not the breed.

Wow, thats horrible. I'm glad your dog pulled through. Rusty got off very lightly and as someone else said that if the pitbull wanted to kill my dog he would have.
