You were bitten today? If it was anywhere near dartmoor you can sleep safe in your bed tonight because Sherlock shot it 😀
I'll have you know Sky was chased in the park last weekend by a Squirrel a squirrel
I'll never forget the look on that dog's face, when I was teasing it with a Jaffa cake ('No, you can't have it, it's all mine, you're not allowed to have it').
I was actually quite worried tbh. 😳
My theory is the dog was trying to get out of the way but got caught in the gravity well and was actually putting its teeth out to stop itself being dragged in...
😆
I'm sorry, I know it's cruel and unkind.
Funny though! 😀 And that's all that matters as far as I'm concerned.
Andy you are a cruel and bayd mayn. 🙁
shotgun wielding, spaniel and hound owning, fox killing toffs... agree with TJ
Has this ever, EVER happened before???
Hmmm agreed Elf. I suspect that the dog had actually been in a decaying orbit for several weeks and it was a last gasp act of desperation. The woman was shocked because she had ever seen the dog before.
You were feeding Sky jaffa cakes? You do realise chocolate kills dogs, fatally until they are actually dead and cant get up again?
I would make sure the dog got a tetanus Jab if I was her 🙂
I moved off and instantly got a big old bite on the arse. I felt all the dogs teeth, top and bottom
You do know this will be you tomorrow ...

Supersessions - good job, exactly what that dog needs, desensitization.
I've done a lot of work with dogs, and they are very much the product of their upbringing. If a dog is a rescue, and you haven't had it from a pup there is a chance there will be some trigger that will provoke a reaction - e.g. the man in a yellow jacket on a bike. So you should pay attention at all times to their body language (hackles, stiff tail, dropped shoulders, stalking...)
If you've had your dog from a pup, there is no reason at all and no excuse for bad behavior toward humans; they should understand they are subservient to people.
Moreover dogs should be trained from a pup to understand that biting is not acceptable, this is something they should learn from being with their litter mates and will be more obvious in pups removed too early from a litter and then not given the correct bounding from their owner.
Another issue that is seen with defensive / aggressive agitated dogs is being from a too large litter, which is more prevalent with every owner of a dog having won at least one dog show thinking it should breed and have it's pups worth a lot of money.
The point is, the problem with problem dogs is us - people. The dogs in question should be removed from the owners, or at the very least the owner should be forced to have one-to-one training and pay for it, as currently they do not deserve to own a dog.
I love dogs, but some people should not have them. This year me and my 4 1/2 year old border collie have decided to go back to training classes, to rediscover things we've become lax with, be pushed further by trainers, and to show people what can be achieved with a little time and effort (tricks, the attention required and the level of understanding you and your dog can have).
That was quite a bit serious, I did think about throwing in a joke about TJ to lighten the mood - but I do agree with him 🙂

'Decaying orbit' ffs!

Nah, just teasing it. I weren't going to give it perfectly good Jaffa Cakes ffs! What, you think I'm mayd? 😯
'WerePoddy'?
No cake shop would be safe....
Oh no come on now stoppit it's so unkind poor Peter he's such a nice bloke too. 🙁
It's not my fault Peter the nasty big boys made me do it.
Has anyone checked to see if the dog has had its tetanus jab? 😀
Hah Mark...I'm warming to this forum. It's full of trolls. My kind of place.
[i]Stop to say hello/pat a dog and they will either wag their tail, be wary, or not be interested at all[/i]
Or bite your hand!
I've been bitten in this way, small dog at a customers house, appeared friendly, I offered the back of my hand so it could smell me before giving it a pat, like a flash it had bitten me. I was sitting on the floor at the time and it was taking an interest in me and my tools. Turned out it is one of the most dangerous dogs in terms of bites...a terrier. (edit: number of bites reported, not severity)
I'm not scared of dogs at all, and have never been bitten apart from the above instance, the fear sensing thing is probably true but I would not make a habit of going around patting strange dogs, unless I am talking to the owner and the dog is obviously a big soppy softy. As soon as you offer a hand you could be seen to be interfering with the dog/invading their space/asking for it.
I do find it a bit odd that it managed to get you on your arse. Why was your arse so close to it?
S'obvious innit: He was mooning, as usual.
My TJ filter has done me a treat on this thread 😀
Starship showed us his belly, and the lake-jump wipeout guy at BBB showed us his ass. Peter, I think you know what you need to do. 😀
As a community nurse a few years ago, a patient's dog bit me on the ass one Christmas eve evening. Despite the four-day weekend that followed, by the 28th I was being approached by people from work I hardly even knew, barely containing their laughter as the enquired after the state of my bum.
I struggle with long sentences. I don't need too. There's a certain feeling of Deja vu.
Anyway... here's a picture of Helen Mirren with a machine gun

For the record, I would never, ever kick a dog. I might threaten to, but I wouldn't do it unless it was ripping me to bits.
I didn't beckon her forewords as she was already moving.
I was bitten on the arse because as I moved off I was slightly in front or level with the dogs and it was the closest part of me to them
Yes they were fairly long leads, plus the length of her arms, plus I guess they were pulling her all over the place. Not sure. I was looking ahead, not over my shoulder
If a dog bit and you and did kick it hard in the head with a hard SPD boot I assume you could kill it ?
Out of interest what would happen if you killed a dog that had bitten you and the police knew about it ?

I wouldn't have thought so.

Nothing.
Pete now has canine AIDS. Avoid him at all costs.....

Hey Pete, Glad that all seems to be okay and that you are not feeling too ruff. Sounds like the owner had no control what so ever. If she cant control them then dont take em out.

Good point but is canine AIDS good AIDS or bad AIDS?
Cheers Mark. 🙂
How's Scottish Scotland treating you these days?

Depends on the gender of the dog doesn't it? 🙂
