Dogsey

Both dogs unrestrained?
Akita is bred for fighting. Why do we need them running loose in the park?
When I walk my dogs they are leashed.
It's a hundred times easier to get them out of harms way. And I always have a sturdy walking stick.
I'm glad Baxter is okay.
I hope the owner of the Akita is found and held accountable.
Even to pay the vet bill

Aw, man... Baxter looks a mess. Poor guy. The article title is really misleading as there are no wounds to the underside of the neck (the throat), therefore "throat ripped out" is an exaggeration to draw people in.

Rarely are horrific attacks reported as anything other than a breed with fighting history or bred for aggression towards something.... or someone. Say what you like, but "deed, not breed" is losing quite a bit of credibility IMO.

My Jade is NASTY and will maul dogs she feels threatened by and will also bite if cornered or spooked, but she is NEVER allowed off her leash, ALWAYS muzzled in public, and we stay AWAY from other dogs and people whenever possible. She has never bitten anybody or anything. KNOW your dogs nature and keep them out of stressful situations.

I always carry a fire poker with me on walks, and will not hesitate to beat a dog senseless, or even to death if it'll save my dog from a savage attack at the hands of a fighting monster. Jade is muzzled and cannot defend herself, and Nigredo won't fight back at all.

Keep the annoying fighting breeds and the breeds prone to DA on leashes, carry a breaking stick, and stop being such idiots.
