But then one day we got up it was a normal day had breakfast then walk the dog with the wife but this is when it all changed while out on a walk with Murphy and he turned on Clare ( the wife) wasn’t provoked at all just the normal walk. He tried jumping for Clare’s face and bite her on the arm I stepped in and told him off know normally he nos he’s dun wrong but he didn’t he just tried to do it again and again and it didn’t seem to sink in that he’s doing wrong. Anyway we just thought he was just been a normal teenager and just wanted to play up. But it started to happened on every walk. Then one day when me mum came over for a brew we tuck him for a walk and he tried jumping at me mum. We tried every thing we could to stop him but it didn’t seem to work at all so we rang the rescue centre where we got him from and explained to them what’s happening asked if wed dun surton things give her the answers any way she said he’d have to be put to sleep witch we didn’t want at all so we tried another week to see if he would change bearing in mind this had gon on for 1 month already and nearly every day me or Clare ended up bitten. It didn’t work and he hade to go. They asked for me to take him to the vets and asked the to put him down I sead there’s no way I can do it I felt bad anuf making the call. So they tuck him for use
.Sorry Hope you didn’t mind me sharing the story.
Now just because if sead he was from a rescue centre I’m not saying that all dogs will be the same when you get them from a rescue centre.
I don’t think all dogs that bite just once should be P.T.S as they all dissever another chance.

Sorry what does that bit mean ??

I have wanted to know what would happen if my dog were to bite someone if they went for me, whilst walking the dog. Like in my defence?

Flynn has snapped at my Dad several times but my Dad is a classic tormentor and has always wound the family dogs up. Flynn isnt known for his patience and can be a grump and I think my Dad has made a rod for his own back in this case. My dogs arent used to being tormented so my Dad gets what he deserves IMO.
They have never truly bitten though, just made their feelings known.

I do have a sneaking feeling that the law wouldn't be on your side if it happened in a public place. It could be your word against the person who tried to attack you and if they have bite marks on them......well we all know the law can be an a**. I suppose if there was a witness.......
