When your own dog turns on you.

[eggsarascal]

one of our dogs has been pushing the 'point' with our younger dogs for a while now, last night they got 'right at it', me being big and brave, 'n'all that got inbetween them...... Bad move!...... Ended up with a load of stitches in my hand and leg...... Mrs egg has taken him for his last ride out. Gutted in Suffolk.

A sad day...Iron necessity as they say. A friend intervened with her dog - A chronic infection and four surgeries later and she still has all her fingers. Ive been bitten a couple of times, with no serious harm done, but one always has to think of children and the elderly. At the time, I let it go, but the one Rottie that bit my arm grabbed the arm of a four year old girl a few years later and dragged her into the street. I wished I'd followed my incident with legal action.

What was the dog?

That's bad news how long had you had him for?

Oddly,

Despite homing a succession of rescue dogs of all breeds, and several times intervening in fights between the pit bull/staffie/ mastiff types, who were plainly intent on killing each other.

And never but never beat these dogs or even used strong discipline.

only got marked once, and entirely accidently , when raked by a protruding tooth.

This despite kicking(with increasing severity) in the ribcage in a futile attempt to distract the agressor, might as well tickle them with a feather when in "fight" mode.

Also putting the full of my strength in twisting a choke chain, to strangle one, to persuade it to let go.

To no avail.

and seconds after it is over?

back to being placid big dotes.

We was also rearing 2 youngsters/children during these years.

I trusted the dogs implicitly, Bessie, the one who raked me with her tooth, was actually v. protective of our children, since they were part of her pack.

Sticking something up its aris distracts them a bit apparently
