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 ....

This is why we all need effective recall if we are going to exercise our dogs in an off-leash area... reactivity from other dogs or people who don't want to be rushed at during their use of the area.

 

I am in no way defending the use of a knife to resolve whatever issue actually occurred - if the other owner's dog suffered bite wounds, then there is definitely more to this story than we are getting - but the fact remains that the owner of the 2 dogs that were stabbed was not close enough to his own dogs to control them, and had poor recall when they chose to go "greet" the other dog. His dogs have paid the price of that lack of recall pure and simple.

Without knowing all the circumstances I have to say I would defend my dogs with a knife if I had one. But no one should be put in that position.
