[i]to the dog they could both be a game... [/i]
then the dog should be put down.
the point is - to the dog they could both be a game...
If you're letting your dogs run around thinking that biting people is 'a game' , and that other people are just going to have to accept that, then I think its only reasonable for you to accept that as part of my ongoing tourettes, I often kick people in the plums for no reason. All I'm saying is that by your logic, if I did that to you, I'd expect you to just laugh it off
yunki, stop it! 😆

Dog biscuit anyone?

yunki - MemberI think that dog owners in this situation that are facing the prospect of having their dog destroyed should be offered a service (for a small fee) where they can have their animal returned to them in the form of a tasty pie..
Much better than chicken for families - when the two kids come round, we always argue over who gets a leg.
You shouldn't mock..
We had an enormous Leatherback turtle for a pet once.. I loved that animal dearly but it kept making racist remarks to my next door neighbour's wife..
Obviously this couldn't continue and the turtle had to be put down eventually, but we softened the blow by having it preserved and turned into a waterfront hotel just off the main esplanade at Budleigh Salterton..

Hope this has been reported appropriately..
Last year when medic at a running event I had to treat a casualty who had been attacked by a collie in a mucky (cattle)farmyard. The route was an established long distance trail, the dog had done it before and the owner didn't care so police were notified.
The wound was similar to the OP's but with the addition that one of those canines had hooked the skin instead of coming back out cleanly. This one peeled the skin back as it ripped its way out when dog and leg parted company, producing a lovely triangular wound with the original puncture at the apex. That ended the guy's race and needed a lot of cleaning.

Is that a Mock Turtle then?
Mock Turtle Soup
About This Recipe
"A standard "starter" at the s****y Grant Grill in the San Diego U. S. Grant Hotel for many years was Mock Turtle Soup. Tux adorned waiters always suggested a dollup of "cherry wine" (sherry) to top the soup. This is my rendition."
Ingredients
For the roux
1/2 cup clarified butter 1/2 cup flour For the soup
2 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup yellow onion, diced 1 cup red bell pepper, diced 1/2 cup celery, diced 1 tablespoon minced garlic 3 cups canned crushed tomatoes 3 cups chicken broth 1 lb extra- lean ground beef 4 hard-boiled eggs, grated 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper 2 bay leaves 3 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped 2 tablespoons wine vinegar 1 tablespoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons kosher salt Directions
Brown the clarified butter and flour in a small saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid scorching.
Reserve.

Directions
In a soup pot, add oil and sweat the onions, peppers and celery until tender.
Add garlic, tomatoes, chicken broth and ground round.
Bring to a simmer for 15 minutes.
Add grated eggs, lemon juice, seasonings and vinegar.
Continue to simmer.
Place small amounts of roux into soup while simmering to flavor and to adjust thickness.
Once desired thickness is achieved, remove bay leaves and serve in pre-heated bowls, with a dollup of dry sherry.
The Mock Turtle sighed deeply, and drew the back of one flapper across his eyes. He looked at Alice and tried to speak, but for a minute or two sobs choked his voice. "Same as if he had a bone in his throat," said the Gryphon, and it set to work shaking him and punching him in the back. At last the Mock Turtle recovered his voice, and, with tears running down his cheeks, he went on [url= http://classiclit.about.com/library/bl-etexts/lcarroll/bl-lcarroll-alice-10.htm ]again:-[/url]

I want to know where this happened so as I can be ready if riding there.
yeah.. all joking aside, maybe it wouldn't do any harm to name and shame..?
I'd certainly plan my route in such a way as to avoid bitey hounds if I was aware of their presence
I have a local ride that the trail goes through a farm yard, it is a public right of way but there's a couple of collies there that are quite aggressive and nip at you. My missus got bit but it wasn't anything serious, just a scratch. I told her to report it but she didn't bother.
I have found that if I dismount and walk the bike through they are not as bad.
Op- any update?
I am a firm believer that dogs weather they are big,small,fat,skinny,friendly,nasty or stupid are unpredictable and the most controlling owner be them good or bad cannot comprehend what their dog is capable of,if I am walking down a street and a person is walking their dog I will cross the road to avoid,I haven't had a bad experience with dogs in fact my experiences with them have been harmonious to say the least,but just because the dog is good with its owner it may not be with others,dog owners put to much trust in their dogs and this is why these things happen,maybe destroying the beast is a bit harsh but maybe bringing in a law that dogs must be on a muzzle in public places as it's obviously a growing problem,not just with cyclists but with other people a swell like my window cleaner who was bitten only 2 weeks ago and had bite marks on his leg and the dog owner didn't even apologise.
Was in bad shape last night after the tetanus, was like the flu on steroids. I have contacted the police and they were supposed to be out to see me tonight, no sign yet. They have probably got more pressing issues in fairness. After double checking a map of UK footpaths it did make me think that next Sunday someone could harmlessly follow the path and encounter my old pal.
I completey respect that people love dogs and see them as family members but having a garden pea sized lump of flesh removed from my calf and a one inch puncture wound isn't my idea of a game. The fact you see that as a game worries me. It was genuinely frightening. I don't want to pick an argument and I respect everyone has a point of view however under the circumstances I dont agree with yours. Again I don't wish death on the dog but I am sure someone better qualified than me will make the decision as to what happens next. I don't think it's right to say where it happened.
op must report the dog attack no question about it.
but on the other side of the coin ive had a woman start beating my dog with her childs school bag when her young boy came over to my 18 year old son who had my great dane on a lead. the lad gave the dog a pat and she just run over and starts swinging hitting the dog about the head.
I think it fair to say where it happened as at least then possible reoccurrences can be avoided, saving a child's face which equals better chances for the dog not ending up in a Pyrex bowl.
Owners are very much responsible for their pet,they bear that responsibility as soon as they decide they want a dog,I think this post could go on for years with many opinions,good,bad,stupid and damn right ridiculous ones but you must decide for yourself what the outcome would be.
Your staying quiet could cause the next person much harm because the matter of the fact is that it has sunk its teeth into someone now and to a dog anything is game.

Tell that to the next family that ride through when their kids get 'nipped'. Or anyone else where the 'nip' gets more serious.
OP - well done for seeing this through. Definitely the right course of action.
Quite surprised by the amount of Daily Mail-esque mouth frothing going on.
I'm not an advocate of euthanasia for incidents like this, especially when it's clearly not the dog's fault. The dog is not to blame for it's owner's inability/refusal to;
a) control their dog
b) see that their dog's actions are their fault
c) do anything about their dog's negative behaviours
The dog should be removed from the owner with a view to have it (re)trained at the owners expense. if the dog is deemed to be inherently dangerous i.e. at risk of further 'incidents' then euthanasia should be considered, but only as a last resort.
I resent reactionary 'kill it' attitudes being demonstrated on this and other threads like this.
same happened to me riding along dog ran out bit me i reported it to police,officer said he went to said farm and spoke to farmer who said he did have a dog that matched my description but he said was away from the farm with his dog on that day,
thats why i asked where it happened as i think the op is in the same area
as me
It's not the dog's fault, and it is also probably traumatised. Buy it a lot of unwrapped chocolate as a peace offering.
Mav if it were where you're thinking I'd be astonished that you could take what I've posted and connect it to your experience, do you mind if I ask how you came to that assumption? I have purposely given nothing away regarding location. If by chance this was related it would be alarming and require more pushing.
Hi Mav, I have realised how you got to the assumption you did, would it be okay to email you for a bit of information? If this is a common occurrence I'd like to put your story to the police tonight.

nobody should have a dog without a licence and insurance, this would go a long way to improving public safely and animal welfare
the "owner" should not be allowed to keep animals by the sound of it.
and as for only attack bikes etc argument 🙄
luckily children dont cycle, just hope it does not have a problem with wheelchairs...

I think there is enough of a pet black market without this adding to that.
Most people in this thread are probably thinking this little chappy got a bit excited and made a whoopsie:

I'm starting a training school next year also, and my recommendation to police would be one to one training sessions mandated to the owners for 6 months.
Funny that, someone who wants to run a training school thinks that the solution would be, a training school ££££££££££££££££
Two puncture wounds = not an aggressive bite. More like puncture wound from the canines resulting from a chase and grab response. A proper bite would leave you with a chunk of calf missing. (The long canines are the reason why dogs often pop cheap plastic footballs.)
It shouldn't have happened and it could have been a child, but I wouldn't say the dog was dangerous, you and it were just unlucky.
If i was cycling past there with my kids and the dog came out and left puncture marks in their faces I will be sure to remember your wise words and use them to comfort the children. I'm sure when they realise that it is just bad luck they will be just fine. 🙄
Yeah but you're one of those simple reactionary types who only does things to make themselves feel better
🙂
feel free if you think its the same farm
Highclimber +1

Kill it (and eat it if killing it offends your delicate sensibilities)
Did ant thing get done to the owners??
This is why cats are better. They wouldn't be out chasing bikes. If one went past they'd just look at it with a "meh" attitude. They do attack their owners however, but no one would put a cat down for scratching the shit out of their owner 😀
They also have the decency to crap in their neighbour's gardens and kill the local vermin (even if they deposit it on the owner's doorstep).
Almost joined the stats today with a black staffy having a go at me. Ran beside me for 400m or so, targeting ankles on both sides. I started to get concerned that conciliatory tone and extended leg were not working. Interesting as soon as I stopped dismounted and put the bike (v quickly) between us, the staffy stopped and turned around. May be thought it was a game but the chops were chomping and my legs were looking too tempting for a while.
First time I really felt that I was about to lose a chunk of my leg to a dog and I'm a dog lover!!!!!
