But I thought he fight between the humans started after the dogs had stopped.

I have to say If I was your girlfriend I would feel rather let down by your attitude of not getting involved

It sounds like it was half a dozen of one and six of the other to me... how was your girlfriend close enough to get slapped... by the other woman in the first place.

I have to say if me or mine got attacked for no reason, I would have been straight to the police.


Maybe you should have walked away the moment you retrieved your dog and saw this was escalating into something more violent. instead of just standing by and watching the outcome of an unpleasant fight between to woman.

I was knocked down and badly bitten by a GSD as a child but i never held it against the breed in fact one of the dogs we had that I was close,est to was our Hollie a GSD. Just a thought.

I'd agree with this, my reasons being that the police probably wouldn't (or maybe even couldn't) do anything without witnesses.

And these two people are clearly thugs, so maybe having the police involved may provoke more attacks on you, your girlfriend, your dog or even your possessions.

Sod the bleeding dogs! Your girlfriend, who you are supposed to love, was getting beaten up and you stood by and watched. Thankfully, my husband would never stand by and watch.

I have done a quick straw poll of friends/family and work colleagues - all would step in and defend their loved ones.

Keep your dog on a lead to avoid further trouble.
