All dogs should be tied up when outside!

Thought I'd give a quick update on my neice. Her face is all healed up but there is quite a scar left behind. She will eventually go through surgery to repair the scar.

Now, for the other shoe that dropped today for her. She was outside playing with some friends when she fell 15 ft to the ground. She's bruised up pretty good. Has a black eye, broken wrist. They had to fly her out for a ct scan as a precaution. I tell ya, if she didn't have bad luck, she wouldn't have any.
 
well, I live in "the country" and have a big problem with pets being left to run.:angry:
I know every one of my neighbors dogs, and if I find them on my propert I round them up and take them to their owner. Cats are another matter, it seems they enjoy marking my house as their territory. I end up telling the owner about their cat, if they don't kep it home and I see it again..bu-bye kitty kitty:furious:
 
Brian, good to hear her face healed up - bummer about the scar and the new injuries.
Broken wrists are no fun and it'll likely ache for about 3 months, if not longer.
good luck and I'll include her in my prayers.
 
Thanks. They flew her out this morning as a precaution as she was dipping in and out of consiousness. They did the scan this afternoon and everything appeared normal. this evening, we got word that she's alert and doing fairly well considering. We were all worried for a while.
 
This is a horrible thing to happen to a little girl. The owner needs to make some sort of restitution and someone needs to make sure the owner takes better care of his/her animals. But I still will never tie up my dog all day. He will always run free...in my yard.

WHAT THE HELL?!?
Stitches in a wound like that??
I'd think Steri- strips under a gauze bandage and a shitload of antibiotics should have been immediately ordered, as a temp measure until a surgeon was called to reconstruct the damage on that gaping wound.

i agree!!!!!
 
After seeing the photo reading the post, hamburger & cholacote came to

I'm with you on this one. I've got a major problem with your dogs, or your cats, or your kid, trespassing on my property without my permission. Property rights are second only to individual rights. If dogs roam free on the reservation, then keep them on the reservation.
 
Don't blame the dog! If it's not taught better, what can you expect of it? Maybe you should contact the owner of the dog and kindly ask them not to let it into town during school hours if it's not friendly. You can also sue the owner, because he didn't train his dog better, but certainly attempt talking to them before you do any legal matters. And if you sue him, make sure to sue the school too. If another child was attacked by the same dog and they did nothing about the dog then, you can certainly sue them too for endangering the welfare of all children in the school. You should sue for the cost of the doctors visit, the cost to help remove the scar quicker and for emotional distress to both your family and to the little girl.
 
Holy scarfish biteman! If you own a dog that bites people you need to keep it in your yard. You are responsible for this animal and any damage that it causes. It should not be allowed to run free and bite people. If this dog came on my property, or came on public property and bit my child, it would be a dead dog. I love animals, dogs especially, but a dog that dispenses damage of this nature when it isn't called for, and especially on property that it isn't protecting, must be dealt with.
 
Dog was probably from the reservation,hell in New Mexico the res-dogs may out number the natives, this was posted back in 2008 and Groomerguy knows what the outcome was.... but i suspect no one claimed the dog and it was captured and put down. the school is at fault for not protecting the students. i have a rescued res-dog and she is a wonderful well behaved Husky/coyote mix.... but she was once wild, and will never be allowed to play with kids unattended.

the natives belive a dog is a free spirit and thus can not be chained down.
 
all dog's left to run free will go wild mine are family pets the big one used to swallow the babies arm to get a treat and spit out the arm un touched. around here a lot of dogs are tied up to 5 foot chains an live their lifes that way with no training or manners . also huskys are generaly a working dog and as such are never taught manners one should always be cautious of dogs like that. mine run free when walked but they learned to be under voice control.

The rez dogs are definitely a problem there. About once a year they have to do a round up and dispose of the dogs running in packs. The one that did the attack did have an owner. Former coworker of mine actually. It was rather hard to maintain control and not bring up the subject at work. My neice has a permanent scar on her face now. My point about all dogs being tied up was that yes, they should be either tied up or in a fenced area where they cannot escape. I totally get it for those who live out in the country who choose not to tie them up. It's another thing all together in town.

i hoped you would see my post and post on what happened with the dog and if it was owned,a co worker?.....dam that would be uncomfortable at best, hope she doing well. did they put the dog down?
 
Holy crap! I wasn't expecting to see an injury like that! That is one nasty cut. As far as the leash, I believe that it may be necessary depending on the breed and temperament of the dog. We used to have Basset Hound that was so fat and lazy he never made the effort to run anywhere. If the dog is like a Rottweiller or Pitbull, I can understand where a leash would be prudent.
