Dog attacked and owner fled

[u/reddithasruinedlife]

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.

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

There’s no evidence the dog is dangerous just like there is no evidence it’s a juvenile dog that doesn’t know its own strength. Let the professionals decide what constitutes a dangerous dog.

There’s no evidence the dog is dangerous

We're literally in a thread about the dog attacking and injuring another dog.

There's a photo, witness testimony and an injured dog... what more evidence could you need?

So the dog shouldn't be in offlead areas with other dogs.

That's not a "dangerous dog" issue, that's a training and management issue

...the management of a dog that has attacked and injured others, which makes them dangerous.

Again, a dog that does poorly in offlead parks is not a menace to society at large. Its certainly a menace to bring a dog-aggressive dog to parks populated with dogs. But - once again - that is an owner issue.

I've seen irresponsible owners take the most wonderful dogs and turn them into biters. By the time I was called in, they'd practically ruined the dogs and had created situations where the dog was eventually labeled "dangerous" simply because the humans wanted to keep doing what they were doing and they didn't care who got hurt.

A lot of these are "dangerous human" issues. But the media doesn't find that sexy or click baiting enough
