Re: sad update on dog getting bitten
Sincere sympathy to your sister on the tragic loss of her little dog. I can only imagine how I would feel if this happened to me.
My late Deerhound Weyland was devoted to a little black Pug Roane. Roane died at home and Weyland was able to see her body but he still grieved for many months afterwards. He had Roane's daughter Arwen and a rescue Rotti x Staffi as companions but Roane was special to him and his grief was painful to see. Hopefully your sister and her remaining dog will draw comfort from each other. As for the stupid dog warden he should join the ranks of the unemployed as soon as possible. This incident can't be called a dog fight. It was definately an attack. I don't know what the laws are like in your area but in most parts of Australia it is an offence for a dog to "rush, worry or attack" a person or other animal. In a case like this the dog's owners can be prosecuted by the local council and they are then fined, compelled to pay veterinary costs and the animal is then declared a "dangerous dog". A "dangerous dog" must be on a lead at all times when off the owner's property and must be housed in a properly constructed dog enclosure when at home. Some magistrates also say the dog must be muzzled when walked and others simply order the destruction of the animal. Give your sister hugs from me. So very sad. |

Re: sad update on dog getting bitten
My sister had the dog warden round today and also the housing assosiation who own the house the other dog lives at, they had been contacted by other worried residence who feared that the dog was out of controll, the lady who owns the dog has said she gave the dog away yesterday??either that or was hiding it somewhere, but when questioned about where the dog has gone she says she doesnt know
i have a feeling it has been put at her daughters! the lady also had the cheek to say that my sisters dog was old so it didnt matter that much so at least the dog has been taken out of the area, and my sisters other little dog is safe at the moment, i just hope that whoever has the dog now can teach it properly and take better care than her last owners, the dog warden has said my sister could seek legal advice about recovering vet fees however to be honest that is the last thing from her mind and i know she would have paid any amount to save her dog. little jess seems to have calmed down a little and is just staying very close to my sister and going mad if my sister leaves the room so hopefully she will be ok without her life long pal.

Re: sad update on dog getting bitten
This is so sad. How dare that woman say that because your sister's dog is old it didn't matter, that is so callous and wrong.
Your poor sister and poor Jess. And you. What a horrible, tragic time you've all been through
