Poor woman - and poor old poodle   

Each time there is a dog/person attack, I think just how frightening it must be

Thanks for that Some absolutely wonderful photos A lovely way to start a Sunday .

T - you have such a vast amount of experience and wisdom to share - thank you . 
I agree that police officers are entitled to draw a weapon  in the case of a serious/fatal mauling ...what else can they do ?

What a great cat I am glad his way of life is helping his 'Mum' with her mental health .

Oh Dear  Seems like there was an altercation between the dogs , and he reacted with a knife That poor family .... Hope the other man's dog is ok ....

Glad the truth has been found.

Poor little darling Those two should have received harsher sentencing .

Retired- home all day listening to a yapping chi .....guns everywhere - surprised it didn't happen earlier. Poor little dog

I wouldn’t expect to see toenails like that on a dog that’s been fending for itself in rocky terrain.

No!! She would have very short nails after running around on dirt/stones , I would think......

Without CCTV, I doubt we'll know exactly what happened... but if the article is correct about what is thought to have happened to the poor dog, I hope the perpetrator(s) suffer a similar fate.

exactly.

May I just say "Poor Woosie" in her frantic flight!! 

Poor, poor dog   How horrific.

Doing what her ancestors were bred for ......but with an Oops ! Glad she was rescued safely - what an effort!! 

Wow! Survival of the fittest, I would guess - but how strong and healthy do those little ones look? That was interesting .

Very true, T  it has changed so much - and dogs are more and more unused to different situations/kept from learning how to "dog"  safely.

I CAN imagine the owners distress. At least I’ve still got my little girl and that story and sadly many others is a prime example of why I’m not taking her walking by myself any more.

Oh I can hardly imagine the poor owner's distress...that poor little pup -

a VERY small pet!! 

A tricky situation having dog packs free roaming around people is not good .

A sad state of affairs. from disappointed adopters, to vets not getting their money  I feel so sorry for ethical rescues- battling to do a good thing.

What a good and useful working life he has led I am glad he is with his former handler - and has another dog , too Well Done, Sebbi.

Ten year old large/giant breeds dog. I wonder if it had undiagnosed or untreated medical issues. 

 

and we will  never know. It was obviously still powerful

 Poor girl - I hope she pulls through. That would have been horrific for all concerned .
