Yes he was protecting his small dog

[Niamh.]

Poor guy, what an awful way to go

[arista]

[The Yorkshire Terrier also
suffered serious injuries in
the attack and received
emergency veterinary care.]

[Police added the suspect dog was captured and taken to kennels.
Its owner was arrested in connection with the attack and later released on police bail pending further inquiries.]

Such a sad and ultimately preventable tragedy.

I imagine the dog's owner is to blame, most dogs are easy to tame with a bit of love and attention and I'm guessing the poor dog didn't get much of either. Dogs from good homes are rarely aggressive.

I agree with this.
There are no bad dogs, just bad owners.

If a Dog is under your control
you can hold it solid
with the Lead.

Yes Dezzy the owner of the Killer Dog
(not banned though)
is 100% at fault

Well if you own a dog like that (presumably he was some sort of Bull terrier since there was alot of confusion over whether or not it was a banned breed) you should be extra vigilant in making sure your garden is secure and the dog is under your control when its out. It doesn't matter whether the dog is loved or not imo, if you own a dog like that, it's potentially a danger to people. Dogs can be unpredictable, all dogs can be

Poor man. Ugh it's so annoying/awful when you encounter a dog off its lead whilst walking your dog.

[Jordan.]

Um at the dog being returned to the owner. Surely it should have been put down?

Surely its the owner that needs chaining up , my partner is a postie and you would not believe the amount of people that are totally irresponsible with dogs, there are people who can no longer have mail delivered to their homes because they do not control their animals ! they still leave gates open so the dog can run out and attack < my partner was bitten badly in the thigh by a dog that was supposedly chained up, he's been bitten through letter boxes ! who would like a job that risks very painful dog bites on a daily basis.

Yes the Owner of that Killer Dog
is Guilty 100%
Total Lack of care.

That killer dog got out of its zone
Home area
(that tells you the owner is a fool)

[_Tom_]

My worst nightmare

[arista]

Someone chucked the man a knife to stab the Killer Dog
but he was not able to do much,
or would not stab it.
The Killer Dog was out of its zone
without the owner.
This was all yesterday

It's not even so bad in England, over here there's dogs roaming around everywhere. The people up the road from us have a rhodesian ridgeback who is always out and about on his own

ETA : we don't seem to have as much of an issue with Staffies etc being used as status symbols though

No, I don't think so, he's never attacked anyone or any other dog as far as I know but they're on the dangerous dogs list

[Crimson Dynamo]

bad owner, dog that is not trained or adequately exercised and probably beaten. I hope the dog owner is tried for murder

poor dogs and bloke that got killed
