That is absolutely terrifying. Those poor girls. The way those dogs were circling them. I certainly know that feeling. Makes me so sick in the stomach and sorry if I offend anyone but those dogs need to go.

I didn't see any dogs attacking or biting.

I would like to know if any injuries were only from falling on the hard surfaces. It looks to me like people not experienced with how to behave around dogs. 

Remember the GSP "attack"  which from the video was a dog wanting to play? A woman and child in a panic on the footpath and someone filming from indoors but not helping.

I thought the same initially but then I watched the video in slow motion and I’m not so sure. The brindle and white dog, in particular, seemed to be targeting the child and possibly darting in to nip. Maybe it was just excitement but I think it could have escalated to something much worse.

 

As an aside, do the dogs have cropped ears? They don’t look like normal rose ears to me.

To me they are attacking and I'm sick of the victim blaming - those dogs should not have been out loose.

The brindle/white one was definitely targetting the smaller child, and was trying to drag her off. The tan one seemed to just be caught up in the excitement of the squealing, but seemed happy to go look to other people for attention.

 

I agree that they should not have been roaming off lead... especially if that easily aroused to action of this type.

Nonetheless, unacceptable behavior.  If any dog of mine behaved like that around small children and I was unable to train it out of the behavior, I'd either keep it caged or have it put down.

many panic these days and they have absolutely no idea how to behave when presented with a loose dog

 

new neighbour came to say hello with two daughters, my chihuahua ran up to say hi and the the children were so afraid they tried to climb their mother.

mum?  screaming in fright

 

set off any dog behaving like that, more so dogs bred to guard, disaster looking for a good spot.

 

my chi was so confused by their screaming ran to me for comfort
