Once bitten, twice stupid (another dog attack)

Father mauled by the family dog a year after it attacked his son

There's no accounting for folk.

I think he needed his head examined.

Pit bull, bulldog... nah, no difference there!

The worst bit is this;

Talk about tarring all with the same brush
If the dog had already attacked for whatever reason, why was he allowed to be offlead in public without a muzzle?

I imagine there is more to this story than we will ever know. But if its true the dog attacked his son previously and he kept in and allowed it to run around in a public park off lead then I am "pleased" it was him the dog decided to bite not a member of the public.

ahhhhhh these dogs do not have a lock jaw !!!!!!!!! i think he should have considered things a little better after it attacked his son.

I don't think this has been mentioned, has it? Another dog attack....

I posted about it yesterday.

Once bitten, twice stupid.

And that bloke said

He at least is putting the blame on himself. But how anyone could consider that a small young lad was the rightful owner of a dog of that size and strength is beyond me. Might as well buy him some weaponry to play with.

I've said a lot about this big, tough, powerful breeds of dogs in the past (and got slated for it) so I won't go over it again here.

Just RIP Lexi.

• Did this person have any experience with large dogs before getting this one?
• Was this person typical of many 'young men' who try to make/train their dogs look and sound 'hard'?

So many questions. Makes you winder whether in different hands (the right home?) this dog may well have been a perfectly well behaved and obedient dog.

Just earlier I saw some bloke with a staff cross shouting at his dog to "come here!!" and with a stick in his hand! If only people would go to training classes with their dogs, maybe things like this wouldn't happen?

Actually, I think it still would - because you will always get people trying to look and act hard with their dogs, and unfortunately large bull breeds seem to attract such owners most. It's more of a social issue, I guess.
