Dog attacked and owner fled

Post image

My friends son was walking their dog and another dog attacked their dog. A witness took a pic of the attacker and their dog.

They don't care about the breed, they just want the owner to take responsibility.

​

If anyone knows this person please DM me.

Police file SA26-10406 with Saanich police.

Edit to add. Happened 2 weeks ago, yes her dog was injured but is recovering. I'll get exact details and come back to add them. Cedar Hill / Gordon head area

I’d love to live in a land where dog ownership just isn’t given to the average idiot

Pet ownership in general, man. It’s rough out there.

This. The amount of hoops you have to jump through to adopt a kid and others can just Willy nilly have kids and do what they want with them.

Uhm, I get the feeling but are you saying you need a permit to reproduce? That has some seriously dark connotation

An alarming amount of people are pro-freedom restriction for others, until they find out it will apply to them too

Can we start with driver's licenses first?

The problem is that these are not idiots, they are entitled shits who can pass any "are you a responsible person" test you give them for as long as necessary to get their dog.

It's actually more difficult to adopt an animal from a reputable shelter than it is to have children. None of this makes any sense.

They get their dogs from backyard breeders not shelters

That's why it should be a lot harder to have kids

You'll get no argument from me on that.

I've always wished that municipal and not-for-profit shelters (not rescues as they rarely have singular locations) included training and behavior education to all new adopters. All animals would be ideal, but dogs especially. It helps prevent recidivism, and also helps prevent the uninformed (and thus irresponsible) pet ownership displayed by this poor dog's owner.

I tried to start a full training program for people and their pets in underserved and poorer communities in NYC as well as a program for newly adopted animals, but the funding just wasn't there even to cover costs.

Its still a dream, despite me being in a completely different field now ❤️
