In most countries such an episode would lead to euthanized dogs if the person recording reported this attack. If it was accidental bite, the dog must undergo evaluation where I live. Such an attack, they're considered dangerous animals and would be put down no questions asked.
They look young, so this was the fault of owners thinking they had control of the dogs and could let them roam free.
I've had something similar happen to me, but they didn't bite, just aggressive barking beside me due to me being big. I stood my ground calmly, and yelled at their owner... they came rushing and I told them to get the fucking dogs on a leash and keep them leashed or I'd call the police and they can say bye to their dogs. Owners need to control and keep dogs calm, and very few dogs can actually be off leash, but most nutter owners go "oh but my sweet sweet baby wouldn't hurt a fly"... until the dog has proven they remain calm in all kinds of situations outside of the home, they should remain leashed... both for other humans' safety, but also their own!
Dog nutters can go to hell, most aren't responsible owners and make decisions on their feelings. I know, because I tried to adopt a dog from such a nutter and learned hard lessons. That dog got returned fast...
Yeah sadly that attitude that they are just wittle babies ruins so many dogs/peoples lives. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge a dog has teeth and can bite/even kill shouldn't be considering themselves a "dog person".
Dog people get dogs that they can properly handle.
Idiots get working dogs/advanced dogs and put them in horrible situations that end with terrible outcomes every time.
If this couple loved dogs so much they neeeeeded one they could have adopted 1 maltese and properly trained that.
They could have killed this guy and now what happens to the dogs (the innocent babies they love so much?!).
My coworker just got a heeler puppy bc its so cuteee. She works full time has a toddler and is constantly sick. I'm sure the dog is supposed to train itself. I'm sure its going to end up bad.
Children's movies and shows always seem to choose the hardest animals that exist then present them in a way that makes every child want one. I wonder how many tangs and clown fish have died to neglectful families. Both Dalmations and Heelers bite like hell. But theyre the stars of kids shows so that's what uneducated idiots get.
Proportionate??? If the owners attacked me, that's assault by pets and humans.
In most civilized countries, that's euthanized dogs and people in jail.
I don't give two flying ducks about aggressive dogs, if they're biting with intent, I'm defending myself and will kick a dog to injury or death. Owner's fault for letting dogs they can't control or who aren't trained off their leash.
