It partially explains what just happened to me 2 days ago. I was out for a bike ride on a cottage road with my wife when we came upon a woman walking 2 Rottweilers. I had my helmet on with sunglasses. The woman called out, in greeting, that the black flies were really bad. I slowed down on my bike and came to a stop to talk to her and to not provoke the dogs to chase me as I had never seen them before. She had one dog on a leash and the other was loose. I looked around to the one that was loose on one side of me and when I looked back to talk to the woman, the other dog jumped up. I thought it was just a "Hi! I'm excited to see you!" kind of jump but I put my arm out to protect myself from being scratched. The dog quickly bit my arm and let go. I didn't even have time to react. There were 4 puncture marks from the canine teeth and you could see the dents from the other teeth on my arm. It didn't bleed but they had just managed to break/scrape the skin. The owner was devastated by her dog's action and has called the breeder to take it back. I chalked it up to the dogs being excited out in woods, plus the aggravation of the deer flies, but after having read this article and seeing the similarities, I now have a better understanding of what happened. Thanks. Thanks for the article. It partially explains what just happened to me 2 days ago. I was out for a bike ride on a cottage road with my wife when we came upon a woman walking 2 Rottweilers.

However, even seeing things from a dog's perspective has not helped what my wife could have done to provoke a dog attack on her. She was walking past an open gate, listening to her ipod and the dog ran out and bit her on the leg and bottom. It was a german shepherd and was completely unprovoked. The dog owner pulled it off her and said sorry, he doesn't usually leave the gate open! Thanks for the enlightening story.

Have you seeen the size o some if the bigger breed dogs? i agree they shouldnt be off the lead in a public place,,,,,i think potential big dog owners should undertake some sort of education to prove they can handle the fact the dog needs to be trained and trained properly etc, so it knows its bottom of the pack,,sometimes this is hard to do with a dominant14 month old 12 stone abd.....there needs to be something done,,this country is going to the dogs,,,scuse the pun,,mark my words, we are going to have a big(well bigger) dog problem in ten years time. stricter rules are needed,,,,have you seen the size of some of the bigger breeds, rotties, bullies,english bullies ddb's,and the crosses, boxer danes, bull-danes,,,and the overweight ones? omg i am an animal lover,,,i had a pitbull(rescued just b4 dda came in, got her legalised just in time, lovely animal, amazing). i believe the dda needs to maybe cover more dogs, and be amended. i think a dog that has the capabilities to carry your kid off and rip it up should be considered dangerous.

Terry was approimately 6 to 7 months old. I must add that my spouse and I have been on the rocks for quite a while. The dog was given to me for a companion due to a disability and being home alone everyday. There was the first attack when my spouse was in the master bedroom, we don't sleep together. I was kind of upset that MY dog was sleeping on the bed where I used to sleep. I commanded him to get off the bed and into the living room. He growled and snaped at me. I was going to physically and forcibly take him from the room. He again snapped and growled. I went off but my spouse stood between us and just let him get away with his behavior. Then, there was Thanksgiving dinner. I wanted to shoosh him from under my feet. He went into this slow, stalking motion and then jumped at me and bit my hand through my glove I had put on to prevent any real damage. Another time I was asleep in my bed and my spouse came into my room. I'm not even sure what occurred, but Terry jumped at her. She later came in the room and said, " he can't stay." My feelings were, if I take him back to the pound they will kill him. The worst happened recently, I fell asleep on the couch while watching a movie. I again am not sure what occurred, nut I woke to growling and my spouse screaming. Terry had bitten her pretty bad on the hand. Three tooth marks on her hand and she was bleeding there. WHAT SHOULD I DO? 21/2 years ago I was given a pet dog for christmas. Terry was approimately 6 to 7 months old. I must add that my spouse and I have been on the rocks for quite a while.

Though mine was from a intrudor in the back yard our beautiful family pet had to put to sleep. Dog owners need to be more reasonable, e.g the story above John hould of known to introduce max and henry. You should also never raise your voice around a dog that does not know someone in there presense, due to the fact of the mentioning of Pack animal. I believe that dog owners need to smarten up. It's Not fair on people that actually have these certain breeds of dogs that are gettin slandered.
