Peace_Of_Mind Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 What a gorgeous dog Bosun is. :) I have no doubt he will heal quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhou Xuanyao Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Yeah right alpha Strange dog comes into property (fullstop). Aforementioned + acts aggressively? I think the majority of dogs would try and take it out. Police officer probably has head up kolo anyway, historically we know by now that we know f all when it comes to media reports on dog breeds.

Boronia Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Just watching the video now... apparently they were "greeted by two vicious dogs"... a Pit Bull and an "ArmStaff cross" :laugh: gotta love the media. http://au.news.yahoo.com/queensland/a/-/newshome/13051266/hero-police-dog-attacked/ He only has visible injuries to his leg and will be back at work in two weeks. F11 I'd like to know how they came to the conclusion with the breeds as well?! Maybe they asked the owner?? He was there after all. I dunno, he didn't seem to open for discussion when the reporter shoved a mic in his face asking if his dogs were dangerous :laugh: Yes he seemed to be gesticulating in an odd manner, perhaps it was the sign language for Arm-staff Edited March 2, 2012 by Boronia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybergenesis Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I know this is bad but I just can't bring myself to care about a police dog that was injured invading someones personal home... Tough luck, that's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police can raid your house if some anonymous person makes up a lie that you have drugs there or if they "think" they smell weed. Its pathetic and good on that guy for having dogs that protected his property. I'm not saying he wasn't dumb though but the police should think before they act, not checking for other dogs before bringing a police dog onto a property? Well the dog copped it lol Edited March 2, 2012 by cybergenesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows, you've given them enough practice on each other. A dog killing Labrador.. I'm sure your heart would just swell with pride. :rolleyes: Seriously, get your hand off it. No one's impressed. Any idiot can own a dog aggressive dog. The police can raid your house if some anonymous person makes up a lie that you have drugs there or if they "think" they smell weed.

Well the dog copped it lol Maybe you could choose other ways to construct the what you mean as i get what you're saying but it doesn't come across that way... You may not like the police or why they raided the house and most people agree that the dog getting injured was tough sh@t, territorial and not newsworthy, as many dogs would've done that, including mine. Just try saying it without making me think you're from the same kind of ilk that the police raided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet we've just had people say that any police dog that enters their premises is mincemeat. Are you saying the police shouldn't be able to use a dog as and where they deem necessary because there might be 'pets' on the premises or that they should just stand by and watch their dogs ripped up by resident dogs? Those dogs were secure inside the house until the owner bolted out the back door and the dogs followed. What are the police supposed to do?? Take their chances? It took OC spray and tasers to deal with those two dogs. Edited March 2, 2012 by Telida Whippets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I read what he said was that ANY dog that did that (not just police dogs - like his dogs know the difference) would have the same result. Any dog that came onto my property would face the same. Not because I have a meth lab in my garden shed and I am a criminal (I don't by the way) but because it is my dogs property and they will protect it and me from anything they see as a threat. Although I am pretty sure if it was just police, no dogs the cops would get covered in licks instead. I'm just glad that the police agree that they were just doing their job and don't by into the media's usual verbal word vomit against "pit bull" type dogs.

Yep. The dog is there to take the hit instead of a police officer. That's part of their role. But if you're going to suggest that they recklessly put the dogs in harms way and don't give a toss about their welfare, that's a bridge too far.

Zhou Xuanyao Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) I certainly think they do give a toss about their dogs, I'm sure most of the handlers feel great affection toward them. Not sure about the term 'reckless', I said 'wilful', which I don't think can be subject to a sensible objection. Now is it 'reckless' to wilfully endanger an animals welfare? Not necessarily.

GeckoTree Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Its pretty common knowledge dogs are sent in before actual police officers and face any threat before they do. thers a couple police dog handlers on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
