so sad.
I agree the owners are to blame, definitely. A dog that attacks is troubled and/or brought up incorrectly-as somebody who has had a troubled dog (a rescue) he was kept on the lead in public until his old habits had died.
I hope the dog recovers
My best friend's elderly cat was attacked and killed fairly recently by a dog that was off leash, with two kids supposedly in charge of it-and another time another friend's cat died shortly after being attacked by a stray dog. I wish owners had to be more responsible, and idiots weren't allowed to own or breed.
Some supposed 'owners' reactions really anger me-they seem to not care at all.
I was wary of letting Kya off the lead until I knew her properly-probably a bit too wary but that's better than risking anything bad happening.
She does give chase if smaller dogs are running from her but if they stop all she does is jump about trying to get them to play with her. She isn't aggressive. There's a lot of dogs around her that I wouldn't trust at all just by knowing the sort of people who 'own' them
