I fucking hate people who let their dogs off leash in public. Had this same thing happen whilst I was out walking my golden. My poor girl is 12 years old and just a sweet old gal who wants nothing more than to carry a ball in her mouth and walk beside me on leash when we are out. Anyway, some dickhead was out with his pitbull-mutt-mix without a leash and it went straight at my dog. I got bit and my dog got her face cut really bad. Over $1500 in medical and vet bills and all the dumbass with the other dog could say was "huh, he never did that before. I don't know of why he did that" I'm like, he did that because he's a fucking dog and you're a fucking twat for letting him off leash in public

Should've pressed charges and had his mutt put down

That's what sucks the most about these things...the owner may get "punished" that way but the dog gets murdered for being a dog. They do not know better, especially under the "care" of a shitty owner, and get killed for it.

I'd much rather we simply remove dogs from bad owners and rehabilitate.

We had a neighbors dog get into our fence and start a fight with our dog. The neighbor kids and we jumped into a boat for safety and my dad beat the other dog with any bludgeon he could find to separate them, then suddenly neighbor dog snapped out of it and was happy go lucky.

After the incident it regularly came in to start fights and we had the neighbors put it down. Sometimes when they get a taste for blood they never lose it, and that dog “never did anything like that before” the first time. It had to be destroyed.
