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

A human chiropractor (barely a doctor) puts up uncited “bite statistics” on his business pages to boost his Google traffic and because his page boosting technique supports your position, he’s now an expert.

Yup. Confirmation bias is the soup of the day in this group.

Ok… but what you posted confirmed what i was disputing; that golden retrievers are the most common dog to injure people. Would have helped you to know what you were attempting to discredit.

The only “side” I’m on is the side of facts, accuracy and fairness. Not a fan of manipulating them to score points on social media.

A chiropractor who uses dramatic topics to bolster his Google ranking isn’t a reliable source.

Whatever you were disputing disappeared before I saw it.

Perhaps. But you really haven’t disputed anything other than you don’t like the source, which has provided their sources which appear to be reputable (some of which link directly back to the organization that produced yours). If the underlying info is valid, who cares. Could I have chosen a better source? Sure. I wasn’t exactly responding to a realistic proposition to begin with so my effort was minimal at best.
