Spoiler: [Pictures taken after the attack in Widnes show the little boy with gaping holes in his cheek and deep cuts around his eye and mouth] Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz39MPzLfIk [A boy of four's face was ripped open by a dog which 'flipped' in the hot weather and savaged him as he played. Riley Fox was in his neighbour’s garden with five other children when the animal, believed to be a Rhodesian Ridgeback-pitbull cross, clamped its jaws around his face. Pictures taken after the attack in Widnes show the little boy with gaping holes in his cheek and deep cuts around his eye and mouth. His father Tony, 28, said: 'If it had bitten him a couple of inches lower it would have ripped his throat out.'] Evil Owner Last edited by Josy; 03-08-2014 at 08:42 PM. |

Yeah that first pic is a little graphic. My son was sat next to me when I opened the thread and he was a bit horrified.

As a dog owner, so do I,also proper registration of dog and owner too.
I am in favour of anything that not only protects me as an owner but also protects my dog too. The problem is the bad owners don't really care about their dogs so wouldn't get one and would just abandon the dog if trouble was caused. |

So do I, it's at least a first step in the right direction.

I don't remember how it was worked back then but I don't remember stories such as this in the news so regularly, what is it I wonder? bad owners, lack of food/water, the heat , what they put in the food, inbreeding...Why are these dogs going mad?

I do think inbreeding is a problem. I had a Rhodesian Ridgeback. He was a 10 stone bundle of muscle but thought he was a lap dog but you wouldn't have stood a chance if he had turned due to his sheer size and strength. The ridge that characterises them is actually a form of spina bifida and they are notoriously hard to train due to breeding. Beautiful dogs but lethal in the wrong hands....

I've had bullmastiffs most of my life (except this year) and it was like a big teddy bear. Lovely dogs. |

Agree with people needing licences. It would stop so much cruelty.
