and the guy knew that? he saw into the future, knew the dog would be ok and be back working. ah, ok he was right for leaving the dog!!! NO HE WASNT!!
Along with the fact the dog did NOT injure a person so again the out of control (from the DDA website Section 3 ) states out of control with regards people/humans, not dogs, so where is the offence!!!
According to the article from the DDA , its only an offence is deemed out of control and endangering people!!!
the DDA says that having an out of control dog is an offence!

P.S just watched the whole horrible incident again to see if it looks like the dog has been left for dead, but the lab jumps straight up as soon as the dog lets go, and starts to run around looking for its owner.
I have no doubt the Lab will be traumatised by the attack, and disorientated , with luck has recovered without to many injuries.
I sincerely hope the dog goes on to live a long and happy life with his owner doing the job he is good at.
If you also look at the video, you will see once that dog latched on to the Lab, it did not rip or shake the dog, my guess is any damage to the Lab, will have been the result of the owner of the attacker trying to free his dog off the Lab...
First off, I think you must be watching different CCTV to me, as the one I watched the dog did shake the guide dog! and how you could tell if the dogs ripped her from that I have no idea!
The article says the dog had deep puncture wounds, that’s sounds serious to me! And just coz it doesn’t get stitched up doesn’t mean anything!
Also, there you go (again!) putting words in mouth!! I said ‘
could have left the dog dead’, ive highlighted the important word for you there!
I don’t care what you think about my friends dog tbh, his neck was ripped open and the vet said if his jugular was caught, he would have died! But he was saved, but was extremely close to death! So I don’t care how close to death you think he was, coz he was!! And he also got up to run away, just coz he got up to run doesn’t mean he isn’t seriously ill. I have heard many stories of people and animals, who do that in a situation like that. it’s the only way to get away from what is attacking!

from what i can attempt to deduce an opinion...here goes;
the dog acted very aggressively, was out of control and attracted unprovoked
The owner did attempt to stop the attack, but did run away rather than face the consequences of having an out of control aggressive dog.
I do not think that even an aggressive dog thinks 'evil' thoughts as an aggressive human does.
i think n aggressive dog is acting on instinct and not on a this is 'right' or 'wrong' behavior.
I think if a dog acts aggressively then it does so because for some reason it ha learned this behavior is the best cause of action.
I think if the dog can be re trained then it need not be PTS.
BUT that is in my perfect world, re training takes time and expertise, and patience, sadly i do not thing any of those things will be awarded to dog in question should the owner be caught,
thats all just my take on the situ. (
peace!!)
well said! i agree completely!

ok, so a dog who is seriously injured can never get up and run? sorry, totally disagree with that! i have heard many stories which show they can and do!
