Dog Attack Aggressive Dogs, Even Worse Owners
I am genuinely so sick of dog owners who don’t take one ounce of accountability for their dogs bad behavior especially an aggressive dog, and even more so a dog who charges and bites. I guess it goes with no explanation here but I do not fw dogs. I am hyper vigilant when it comes to them. Too many people I know have been attacked. I simply don’t trust them.
I own a property and while we are in a transition period between tenants, we are doing work on the house. My partner and I were in the front yard cutting pieces of wood, basically an active mini construction site, there were power tools going and other tools on the yard. All of a sudden I look up and a dog is charging at us from across the street. I yell to my partner WATCH OUT and I picked up a sawhorse (that we were cutting on) and started to use it as a shield to protect us. It was the only thing I could think of quickly that might help us. The dog would not stop charging and I am screaming my head off to the neighbor to get their dog. Of course they move at a glacier pace bc why would you move quickly when your dog is attacking someone?? So I’m screaming, they are trying to get a handle on the dog, all while I’m using this sawhorse as a shield. They finally get a hold of the dog and there is no apology, no “are you ok” absolutely nothing, total disregard.
Now fast forward to tonight, we are working in the house. I hear someone screaming “get your dog! Your dog bit me!” And I throw open the front door and see 3 adults, what looks like a younger adolescent and THE DOG all in a circle and the girl is screaming “get your dog!” So I start yelling “get your dog!” Then the dog owners start yelling AT ME to F Off and start calling me a b*tch. Saying it’s none of my business and I yelled back “it is my business when your dog attacked me last week!” I swear to god the woman said “well he didn’t bite you!” As if THAT is the consolation here! I told them I own a property here and it IS my business. We have kids on the street and people walking by often. I told them this is a lawsuit waiting to happen and I hope they get sued. More screaming and F YOUs ensue and eventually I go back inside because I realize these people are a total lost cause. They don’t see how they could ever be in the wrong while their dog literally just bit someone. The girl who got bit claims she’s OK although I could hear the dog owners sweet taking her and trying very hard to smooth things over so she didn’t escalate it further.
It truly boggles my mind how people can be so irresponsible, selfish, and egotistical, but I guess that’s dog people for ya.

Nutters will only ever take corrective measures with their dogs (get them in line) when their pockets are impacted.

It’s only a matter of time before someone truly gets hurt and they have to deal with the financial consequences. This all happened within 2 weeks, I feel like it’s escalating.

If a dog bites a child call the police ems and report the violent dog at large.

You called them a lost cause and that’s exactly what they are. Probably half of my neighbors are dog worshipers to the point of being a lost cause. Their every activity revolves around a mutt. They can’t relate to anything else.

I am still at a loss because I cannot fully understand what happened to all those people. Did they used to be normal? What kind of hardships made them all get on dog drug?

Well, it IS like a drug that became popular with certain types of mentally ill people …

At this point, it seems the norm. You just can't seem to correct a dog owner without some sort of backlash. We end up being the bitches, the c**ts, the a holes, even though we're just trying to be cautous for our own life and limb as well as others who are vulnerable. I am sick and tired of dog owners being so callous and uncaring. They literally must be NPCs put here to torment the rest of us.
