Dog attack (GRAPHIC)

[rottiegirl]

This is a video that I found by browsing the net. It’s not on the best site in the world, but I just wanted to share the video.

It’s a big eye opener on how not to act if you get attacked. The persons being attacked wouldn’t quit running, and that is what fueled the dog to chase and bite even more. The dogs looked like they might have been playing rough, but he is actually biting.

It looks like the owner is the female. It is horrible that she can’t even control her own dogs. It shows that some owners have the intelligence of a rock. I bet that both of those dogs dont have ANY proper training.

It doesnt say why the dogs attacked, but there is always a reason. They could have felt threatened. They may have thought that they needed to protect their master. We just dont know what happened, and we will probably never know...

One of the dogs had to be shot by police. Its sad because I can guarantee you that if that dog had a more responsible owner, he would still be alive today, and nobody would be hurt.

Never blame the dog... blame the irresponsible owner. By the way... I know the dogs MIGHT be pits, but ANY dog can attack!

You should be at least 18 years old before viewing. Its not that graphic, but it is really sad, and it does show the dog injured by a gun.

Wow, that is so sad. You are right though...that lady had no control of her dogs whatsoever. If she had taken the time to properly socialize and train them, that never would have happened. Just one more scenerio to give pits a bad name

I heard alot about this video....I also heard that its FAKE..I heard that the dog was actually playing to a certain extent and that voiceovers were put into the video of a dog growling and a kid crying in the background or something like that (I don't know because I don't have my speakers on)...

Anyways, it looks fishy to me anyways..if a pit bull wanted to attack and hurt that kid, it would have been done within the first couple of seconds...

This video is just weird in every sense of the manner..I don't have any other comments on it...just............weird.

 

[JennSLK]

Yeah, I was thinking to same thing.

If that pit, or any pit, really wanted to hurt you it would.

it actually looked like that dog was trying to PLAY with the kid.. NOT hurt it. He looks like hes having fun running around with the kid.

You'd think the owner would be trying to grab the DOG instead of the child as well?!

I saw that too..tail wagging...

 

[IlUvMyAnImAlZ05]

Probably just being playful..

What a rubbish video.

Looks like propaganda to me.

And why on EARTH would that "helpless 7 year old" be stood there alone after someone had just WATCHED this supposed "vicious animal" chase a teenager?

I think it is fake.

 

[Red_ACD_for_me]

I saw this on "when animals attack" TV show a long time ago. CRAZY DOGS, but even more STUPID owner

Personally I havent viewed the video, but, It's always stuck me that the people involved are always the problem.

From the drscription the video has to be a fake. If the dog had wanted to disable a child (esp) the chile would be disabled. Second if the dog was fearful the dog would not chase the child, and third if the dog was being truly aggressive It would be likely that once the jaws clamped they wouldnt have let go.

I've always viewed bringing children around dogs (esp large groups of dogs) is *dangerous* when unsupervised. When a child runs off screaming/squeeling the dog thinks "hey what a great game" or "hey what a cool new squeek toy" and the dog will run and frolic. An inexperienced child/parent/owner will take this as an aggressive action that thats when the situation becomes dangerous.

If the child freaks the dog will know it. Often times it's a fine line between a playful situation and an uneasy situation, and it only takes *one* participant to cross that line. Once an unstable dog realizes that it's gone from play to uneasy then they may become defensive, or aggressive...

I ether way The proper thing for the owner to do is to grab his or her dog. The proper thing for a parent to do is to stop the child from running, calm the child down, and seperate the child from the dog.

Once the situation is diffused, then reintroduce the two in a controlled manner so that the child doesnt grow up with a fear of good animals, and the animal doesnt grow up with a fear of children...

Regardless any adult sitting there with a video camera and filming during an incident where a young child is getting worked up around a dog, should be spayed/neutered, and have their children and dog taken away for being a cruel thoughtless b******d of a parent/owner.

Thats just my $0.02

Couldn't have said it better myself. Buddy'sParents, I LIKE your husband! Lol

The really obscene thing is that anyone would make a video like that . . . Violence is the REAL pornography.

 

[MyIrishWolfie]

Something's wrong with that video. It seems like if it was a real attack that the owner would be chasing after her dog or in the middle of it somewhere but she's not.. she's off to the side watching. I wonder why the boy ran to the owner?

 

[AusCatDogs_4Ever]

It sure looks fake to me...

 

[Amstaffer]

Something is fishy for sure, the growling is crystal clear but all the other sounds are fuzzy. Had the dog wanted to really attack it would have grab hold and took the kid down.

As to the tail wagging.....that however does not mean they are playing. I have seen videos where pits are fighting and they ofter wag their tail before, during and after the fight. It shows excitement not playfulness.

 

[DemitriousK]

Another huge red flag is the narrators apparent need to mask their voice. It's quite apparent that they specifically altered their voice. Iether for anonymnity or for effect. Anonymnity rings of a fake, and effect rings of a production.

Also note that in the video you *see* very little. You see the dogs head very close to the childs foot. You dont see a shot fired. You see a flash of light and then the dog laying near a car.

This is not a "tonight at 10pm" special report. This is some (probably kid) not knowing that his actions in this respect actually affect the lives of living beings and their owners. Only this time crying wolf will end the lives of thousands and thousands of dogs who've done nothing wrong.

I remember reading in the Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony that when all the magical creatures of the world were being hunted to extermination the extraordinary pretended to be the mundane until such time it was safe again.

The point is that I wonder how many Pit (Mix) owners will be telling people that their dog is something completely different for the next 50 years until the raign of pit persecution ends? I wonder when the Dog lovers will start their own underground railroad to help pits escape the ovens and mass graves of recent local laws sprouting all over the place

Thanks! I kinda like him too!

Toward the end of the video, the dog pulls the boy down and drags at his leg. That's not a part of any game. I very much disagree that the dog is blameless, that 'we don't know what happened' before the taping began, or that it's a tragedy that the dog was shot. Dogs bear some responsibility for their actions; if they were simply innocents in a state of nature, we wouldn't be able to live with them and train them and live in partnership with them as we so often do. Whatever happened before the tape began, the tape shows the dog pursuing the boy relentlessly, despite having ample opportunity to leave, run off, etc. That's not a dog backed into a corner and prodded to bite. Finally, a dog that pursues and pulls down a human outside of any acceptable context - police dog, etc. - is a real threat, and there is no reason to keep it alive.

One last thing - the tail wagging doesn't mean the dog was just playing. Some dogs adore being aggressive or vicious, and will wag merrily as they attack. Other dogs (terriers spring to mind) are simply energized by confrontations, and will look very friendly - alert, head up, tail wagging, ears pricked - as they approach a potential foe.

 

[DemitriousK]

The fact of the matter is that you really dont SEE anything other than the kid being chased, and (seperately) the kid falling down. It didnt look to me like the dog was even pulling on the boy... I didnt see the head thrashing or body jerking normally associated with trying to pull on something that doesnt want to budge. All you really see is the dog running after the kid, the dog with its head by the kids feet, and the dog by the wheel of the car. The "narrator" really fills in the rest and lets you think you saw what you heard. Which you didnt. You didnt even hear the narrators voice... It's being disguised.

I watched it without audio - I don't know what was said or what the sounds were, and so that didn't influence me one way or the other. What I saw was the dog pull the kid to the ground, and shake him by the leg. There is of course the chance that the kid simply trippped at the exact moment that the video shows the dog's head very close to his leg - the video isn't exactly crystal clear - but I think that the subsquent action of the dog very clearly grabbing the boy's leg and dragging at him makes it very likely that the dog itself was the source of the fall.
